We often think of heart disease as an elderly person's issue. The fact is, heart disease is often congenital and can affect many children, even infants. Stroke is also a larger issue for young people than previously thought. From infants to overweight youth to young athletes, heart disease is becoming an issue and several area doctors work with young people with heart issues every day. We will meet some of them and also a Carolina Panther star whose own child is suffering from heart disease.
