Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Congenital heart disease is caused due to genetic defects caused during the development. There is no exact reason or cause which can be attributed to it.
You can get yourself and your partner checked for chromosomal abnormalities and undertake genetic counseling for the same.
Accordingly, you can plan for your future pregnancy.
Try not to get exposed to harmful radiations and medications during next pregnancy. Eat healthy and nutritious foods.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
