Your Body Is Speaking
A heart that is shaped differently. Since the first beat. Not because something went wrong, but because this body has spoken a particular language from the very beginning — one that is louder than in most people, and that wants to be heard earlier.
A congenital heart defect is a structural change in the heart that arises before birth. The spectrum is wide — from small openings in the cardiac septum that close on their own, to complex malformations requiring immediate intervention. Medicine today can correct, operate on, and accompany much of this. And that is a good thing. But a question remains that goes beyond cardiology: What does a heart tell us when it beats differently from birth?
