Fetal congenital heart disease

Fetal congenital heart disease refers to heart defects that are present at birth and affect the baby while still in the womb. These defects can interfere with how blood flows through the heart and the rest of the body, potentially leading to serious health issues after birth. Common types include holes in the heart or problems with heart valves. Doctors often use ultrasounds to detect these conditions before birth, allowing for early intervention planning. With advancements in medical technology and techniques, many babies with these conditions can be treated successfully.
