A 2007 study by the New England Journal of Medicine found a significant connection between Zoloft and septal defects in the heart. That same study discovered that taking Zoloft in particular raised the risk of omphalocele, a defect affecting the abdominal wall, six fold. Other birth defects resulting from a hopeful mother's use of Zoloft include:
- Atrial septal defect (hole in the wall of heart chambers)
- Tetralogy of Fallot (combination of four defects within the hearts' arteries, ventricle, and aorta)
- Transposition of the great arteries (displacement of major vessels in heart)
- Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome (right side of heart hasn't developed)
- Hypoplastic Left Heat Syndrome (left side of heart hasn't developed)
- Omphalocele (protrusion of part of the intestine through the abdominal wall)
