Congenital heart disease involves the malformation of the heart during fetal development. Many forms of congenital heart disease have specific anatomical deviations associated specifically with that condition.

There are many anatomical variations that arise involving congenital heart disease. The following congenital heart diseases each have unique anatomical formations:

• Aortic stenosis
• Atrial septal defect
• Atrioventricular canal
• Coarctation of aorta
• Patent ductus arteriosus
• Tetralogy of fallot
• Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
