    The document outlines a schematic diagram of congenital heart disease. It lists predisposing factors like race and family history and precipitating factors like stress during pregnancy. The diagram shows a hole between the left and right ventricles of the heart that allows blood to pass between the sides. Without treatment, this can lead to hypoxia, fatigue, and other issues and potentially death. Treatment options include surgical repair, catheter procedures, or hybrid procedures to close the hole and allow for a normal healthy life.
