While the question seems a bit unclear, in reference to electricle pathways: an extra pathway in the heart is termed an "accessory" pathway.

Can heart defects kill?

Yes, heart defects can kill. A heart defect is a structural abnormality in the heart. It makes the heart inefficient. The heart has to work harder to sustain life. The heart wears out or enlarges from being overworked. It might not be enough to oxygenate the body to sustain life. Most babies are born with an Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). This is an extra pathway in the heart for the fetus. Around 10 days, this PDA closes. Without this extra pathway, some defective hearts are unable to sustain life. Surgery or medicines are required to save the life. Alternately, some heart defects are benign. A Still's Murmer is a heart murmer that can only be detected when the patient is horizontal. It has no known ill effects.

When does a baby have a heart?

A fetus's heart develops early (3-5 weeks after conception). It starts out as a tube and then grows into 4 chambers around 5 weeks. It starts beating around 5 weeks but usually can't be heard until 7-9 weeks. During weeks 20-24 a fetus's heart heart develops more fully. An ultrasound of the heart during this time can rule out some congenital heart defects (CHDs) just by looking at the shapes of the four chambers of the heart. (Some CHDs are not detectable by ultrasound.) Before birth, the fetus's heart pumps blood oxygenated in Mom's lungs received via the placenta. During this time, an extra pathway (PDA) exiting the baby's heart is left open. After birth, this extra pathway closes and the heart pumps blood to the baby's lungs to get oxygen in the bloodstream.
