After the fetal echocardiogram is completed and the diagnosis is confirmed, our staff of specialists will sit down with you to discuss your baby's heart defect, explain the treatment options and the long-term implications. Depending on the condition, your child may require specialized care after birth. In some cases, your baby may be a candidate for surgery before birth.
It is estimated that 40 percent of babies with a cardiovascular defect will also have other major or minor non-cardiac problems. If your baby has been diagnosed with a heart defect, we will connect you with other specialists within Children's to ensure that your baby receives the best possible care for all of their medical needs.
