Most cases of congenital heart disease have an unknown cause.

Types of congenital heart disease can divid into two main groups.
- Cyanosis is a condition caused by blood flowing into the arteries that supply organs in the body. Causing the child to have dark blue skin or muscles. The cyanosis is often prominent in the extremities, toes, lips, and face.
- Non-cyanotic type is a symptom that occurs because the body does not receive enough oxygen delivered with the blood and the heart pumps less blood to nourish various parts of the body, causing patients to be unable to do strenuous activities like normal people. In infancy, they will easily tire while sucking milk. When children are older, they will easily tire when doing activities or exerting force to do anything. If they do strenuous activities continuously, it may cause the body and brain to lack oxygen and easily faint and lose consciousness.
