Causes
To understand the causes of congenital heart defects, it may be helpful to know how the heart typically works.
The heart is divided into four chambers, two on the right and two on the left. To pump blood throughout the body, the heart uses its left and right sides for different tasks.
The right side of the heart moves blood to the lungs through the lung (pulmonary) arteries. In the lungs, blood picks up oxygen then returns to the heart’s left side through the pulmonary veins. The left side of the heart then pumps the blood through the body’s main artery (aorta) and out to the rest of the body.
How congenital heart defects develop
During the first six weeks of pregnancy, the baby’s heart begins to form and starts beating. The major blood vessels that run to and from the heart also begin to develop during this critical time.
It’s at this point in a baby’s development that congenital heart defects may begin to develop. Researchers aren’t sure exactly what causes most of these defects, but they think genetics, certain medical conditions, some medications, and environmental or lifestyle factors, such as smoking, may play a role.
There are many different types of congenital heart defects.
