Congenital Heart Defect


The cause of congenital heart defects is always unknown. Risk factors include certain types of infections during pregnancy such as rubella, use of certain drugs or drugs such as alcohol or tobacco, close parental relationship, or nutritional status or obesity in the mother. Being a parent with a congenital heart defect is also a risk factor. Many genetic conditions are associated with heart defects, including Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Marfan syndrome. Congenital heart defects are divided into two main groups: cyanotic heart defects and non-cyanotic heart defects, depending on whether the child is likely to turn blue. Defects may include the inner walls of the heart, heart valves, or large blood vessels that lead to and from the heart.
