Congenital Heart Disease

You may not know you have a heart condition. That's why we offer genetic testing. We can spot congenital heart disease before it becomes a problem.

At UVA Health, we diagnose and treat congenital (structural) heart defects at all ages. We can help you manage your condition through every stage of your life.
