General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
PCOD is a condition in which there is hormonal imbalance leading to irregular menstrual periods and untimely ovulation, which contributes to difficulty in conceiving.
However, it is not related to cause congenital anomalies or birth defects in fetus.
Cardiac anomalies are caused as a result of developmental defect, which could be due to genetic or environmental factors.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
