Article Synopsis
  • Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) have a significantly increased risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, with pooled hazard ratios showing they are over three times more likely to experience strokes compared to non-CHD patients.
  • A systematic review analyzed data from eleven studies involving over 5 million participants to assess stroke risks associated with CHD and found higher risks particularly in Europe and among adults rather than children.
  • The study suggests a need for more targeted research to address identified regional and data gaps, which could improve clinical approaches to managing stroke risk in CHD patients.
