Congenital Heart Defects usually don't have an environmental trigger. It doesn't matter what a mother to be does to keep herself healthy... by the time she learns she's pregnant, the heart has already formed. (EXCEPTION: Certain defects *might* occur due to bad genetics. They're still doing research on it.) The key number is 1/125. One out of every 125 live births, on average, will have a heart defect. There doesn't even seem to be a gender/race that is more likely to have a defect. (African Americans are more liable to have Sickle Cell Anemia, but that is NOT considered a heart defect) A child born in a medically advanced country has the best odds of survival, of course; but you'd be surprised at which countries those are. The USA, Canada, and most of Europe qualify; but so does South Africa and India. South Africa was where the first heart transplant occurred, in 1968. A lot of Indian students come to the US to become doctors; some stay once their residency is completed but just as many go home. Because of this, medical care in India is improving all the time
