Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common birth defect in the United States. CHD infants are more likely to have smaller head circumference and neurodevelopmental delays; however, the cause is unknown. Altered cerebrovascular hemodynamics may contribute to neurologic abnormalities, such as smaller...
