Multiple factors: Congenital heart disease is present in 6-8/1000 live births. The cause of chd is unclear but involves both genetic and environmental influences. Many genetic syndromes are associated with chd (down syndrome, turner syndrome, vacterl association, etc). Maternal disease may also contribute (diabetes, lupus, rubella) as can some medications and alcohol. Usually the exact cause is unknown.
