Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
In Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome the left side of the heart is poorly formed and cannot handle the main circulation to the body. The left ventricle and aorta are abnormally small (hypoplastic). This is amongst the most severe forms of heart defects. Most babies are very ill in the early days of life and need urgent surgery to survive.
