| Congenital Heart Disease |
YF-3000.3520-150 |
Any of a variety of malformations of the heart or its major blood vessels that are present at birth. Congenital heart disease occurs when the heart or blood vessels near the heart do not develop properly before birth. Some infants are born with mild types of congenital heart disease, but most need surgery in order to survive and are likely to experience other cardiac problems later in life. Most types of congenital heart disease obstruct the flow of blood in the heart or the nearby vessels, or cause an abnormal flow of blood through the heart. Rarer types of congenital heart disease occur when the newborn has only one ventricle, when the pulmonary artery and the aorta come out of the same ventricle, or when one side of the heart is not completely formed. |

| Congestive Heart Failure |
YF-3000.3520-200 |
A complex syndrome or clinical condition that results from the inability of the heart to maintain adequate circulation of blood due to lack of strength or other factors. There are two types of heart failure (systolic and diastolic) which are characterized by symptoms that can differ from person to person. Systolic heart failure happens when the heart's ability to pump blood decreases. The heart cannot push enough blood into the circulatory system, causing blood coming into the heart from the lungs to back up and leak fluid into the lungs (pulmonary congestion). Diastolic heart failure occurs when the heart has trouble relaxing or resting. The heart muscle becomes stiff and cannot fill with blood, causing fluid buildup (most often in the feet, ankles, and legs) and lung congestion. Heart failure develops slowly over time and can have a large impact on a person's life and ability to perform daily activities of living, such as dressing, bathing, and getting around. |

| Conservatorship Assistance |

In some states, conservatorships are voluntary arrangements in which a physically infirm but competent individual petitions the court to appoint the conservator of choice to manage whatever powers and property the conservatee chooses to include in the arrangement. In these jurisdictions, guardianships apply to adults who are found to be incompetent. In other states, conservatorships apply only to an individual's property while guardianships address responsibility for the person. States having no conservatorship arrangements generally have guardianship provisions which address the needs of adults who have been found by the courts to be incapable of managing their own affairs. |

| Constitutional Law |
FT-1050 |
The branch of public law in a nation or state that deals with the fundamental principles by which the government exercises its authority. In some instances, the principles grant specific powers to the government, such as the power to tax and spend for the welfare of the population while in others, they act to place limits on what the government can do, such as prohibiting the arrest of an individual without sufficient cause. Most constitutional legal issues in the U.S. involve the Bill of Rights, which contains the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution including the freedom of speech, the right to a fair trial, and the right to be free from certain types of discrimination. The First Amendment alone contains numerous protections, including freedom of the press, freedom of religion and freedom of association. It also protects the right to free speech, allowing individuals to openly voice their opinions, including those that are critical of the government or unpopular among the majority of Americans. Individual rights, like other constitutional guarantees, are protected by the rule of law and those who are aggrieved can turn to the courts for redress. Some of the most important court cases in U.S. history came about as a result of individual citizens standing up for their constitutional rights. In order for a plaintiff to have standing there must be a live controversy for the federal court to consider. The federal court will not render an advisory opinion about something that may or may not occur in the future. Once a plaintiff demonstrates standing to bring a claim, any number of constitutional provisions can form the basis of the lawsuit. Two of the most common grounds are alleged violations of equal protection and due process. |
