Hi.

A CVS is usually conducted to diagnose chromosomal abnormalities, and a heart issue does not fall under that category. Please do not worry, such things happen, and in most cases the problem does vanish and the baby is born with a perfectly normal heart, and goes on to adult life with perfect health.

Best wishes.
