Very unlikely : In some conditions, having a parent with congenital heart disease raises the relative risk that their child may have congenital heart disease. Even with this increased risk, the chances of having a specific child affected are probably only around 1%. You should speak with your cardiologist or a geneticist to get a closer approximation of your risk.
