what are some diseses that can accure in fetal heart circulation?
Hi, Approximately 1 percent of all live-born infants have a heart defect. This means that in the United States, approximately 25,000 to 30,000 babies are born each year with some type of congenital heart disease. Cardiac development occurs very early in gestation, during the first seven weeks. The cause of most heart defects is unknown. Sometimes an infection during pregnancy, such as rubella (German Measles), can interfere with heart development. Other times a genetic or chromosomal abnormality such as Down syndrome will result in a heart defect. And still other times a chronic health issue with the mother such as insulin dependent diabetes seems to cause an increased incidence of heart defects in their fetus. However, for most families no cause is determined. Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease The prenatal (before birth) diagnosis of most congenital heart diseases (CHD) may be suspected during a routine ultrasound. If your obstetrician sees something on routine ultrasound
