Welcome to my channel! My name is Marissa, I'm 24, and I was born with 6 complex congenital heart defects (CHD). Congenital Heart Defects are the most common birth defect, impacting 1 in 100 births. A CHD can be described as a structural anomaly which occurs while a baby is developing in the uterus. Most CHDs require surgery, lifelong care, long-term medications, and more. I'm so excited to bring my passionate advocacy for Congenital Heart Defects to this new platform! Please remember to like, subscribe, and tune in if you want to learn more about living with CHD.
