Congenital heart disease is a type of birth defect that affects the normal functioning of the heart. The term "congenital" refers to a condition that has existed since birth. Congenital heart disease is one of the most common birth defects, affecting nearly one in every 100 babies born in the United Kingdom. Congenital heart disease occurs when the heart's normal development is disrupted. The majority of cases are thought to occur when something interferes with the heart's development during the first six weeks of pregnancy.
