Patient's question:
Non-hereditary congenital heart disease, which was cured in early childhood, will it be inherited by the next generation? How is non-hereditary congenital heart disease treated in early childhood?Doctor's answer:
The possibility of passing this on to the next generation is very small. Your child's diagnosis is congenital heart disease with ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect, and pulmonary artery hypertension has already developed, which requires timely treatment. However, it is not absolute. It mainly depends on the type of congenital heart disease. Some are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner across generations. Some genetic diseases are inherited from father to son but not from father to daughter, and vice versa. Regardless of the type of heart disease, the probability of passing it on to the next generation is still very small.Make sure to maintain a positive mindset and avoid anxiety or tension in daily life.
