Is Congenital heart disease sex linked?

Your question is heard to understand. Is it Sex linked ... as in whether it is male or female linked? Nothing I have read would say that is is found nmore in one sex than another.

Congenital means inborn or existing at birth. This is what I found on the site noted in the sources below:

"What causes congenital cardiovascular defects?
Congenital cardiovascular defects are present in about 1 percent of live births. They're the most common congenital malformations in newborns. In most cases scientists don't know why they occur. Sometimes a viral infection causes serious problems. German measles (rubella) is an example. If a woman contracts German measles while pregnant, it can interfere with how her baby's heart develops or produce other malformations. Other viral diseases also may cause congenital defects.

Heredity sometimes plays a role in congenital cardiovascular defects. More than one child in a family may have a congenital cardiovascular defect, but this rarely occurs. Certain conditions affecting multiple organs, such as Down's syndrome, can involve the heart, too. Some prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines, as well as alcohol and "street" drugs, may increase the risk of having a baby with a heart defect. Researchers are studying other factors."

well there r both the thingz no b"coz it does not hve that adverse effect on the heart that a person can not live after doing sex and to an extent yes also it is sex linked and this is how why- when u do sex in different positions and wen u reach orgasm ur heart starts beating faster wich makes a lot of stress on da heart while during sex u shud b aware of the positions and hve a non-stress orgasm and secondly sex is somthing wich makes u comfortable and relaxed so go ahead but just some carefulness its as simple as wearing a condom to avoid AIDS
