If congenital heart disease is
caused by genetic factors such as single gene genetic defects, polygenic genetic defects, chromosomal aberrations, congenital metabolic defects, etc., the risk of inheritance to the next generation is greatly increased. If congenital heart disease is caused by non-genetic factors such as physical factors, chemical factors, biological factors, etc., it will not be inherited to the next generation.
Patients should be treated by traditional cardiac surgery, palliative surgery, thoracoscopic surgery, etc. in time after illness, which can improve heart function.
