Is congenital heart disease inherited?

Congenital heart disease refers to congenital heart disease. Whether congenital heart disease will be inherited should generally be judged according to the actual situation.

If the patient is caused by polygenic genetic defects, single-gene genetic defects, congenital metabolic defects, chromosomal aberrations, etc., and has a certain genetic tendency, the risk of the next generation suffering from this disease is higher than that of the normal population. At this time, it may be inherited. However, if the patient is caused by Toxoplasma gondii infection, ionizing radiation, rubella virus infection, herpes simplex virus infection, etc. in the fetal period, there is no family genetic history of congenital heart disease, which is usually not inherited at this time.
