Congenital heart disease (CHD) can be defined as a group of structural cardiac disorders that occur during the fatal period. The incidence rate of CHD is about 8 to 9 per 1000 live neonates, out of which, 25% are considered severe, even with improvements in modern therapeutic options. Children with CHD are still suffering from many long-term issues that include reduced average longevity, high chances of heart failure, and increased risk for physical, neurodevelopmental, and psychiatric health complications. Still, CHD’s concerns for depressive states, anxiety, and neurological disabling conditions in children tend to lower their quality of life. This article emphasizes the factors decline and strategies to enhance the Quality of life (QOL) of children afflicted with CHD which include surgical management, family environment, parent’s health status, and follow-up guidelines
