Specific steps must take place in order for the heart to form all the way and its during those 8 weeks that a step could be skipped or they don’t happen at the right time which could cause a hole in the heart where a diving wall should be or there could be only one blood vessel instead of two. Most congenital heart defects have no known cause unless it a genetic thing. Its very common for some children to grow out of some diseases like an Artial Septal Defect. But others have very severe deformities which would cause long-term treatment.
