Fetal Cardiology Case Reviews will discuss pertinent (emergent) topics for fetal cardiology clinicians and highlight interesting features to aid in learning anatomical differences and the pathophysiology of heart defects. The purpose is to improve the communication amongst the perinatology team and delivery teams thereby decreasing emergency interventions, such as anticipating a need for an atrial balloon septostomy as opposed to a high-risk neonatal delivery leading to an emergent situation, en...

A fetus diagnosed with fetal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is likely to recur in utero and postnatally. There are ongoing clinical trials to help determine when and how to treat fetal SVT and heart block. This presentation will review current practices and management strategies for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of fetal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and fetal heart block.

Although antenatal corticosteroids are well-known to decrease perinatal morbidity and mortality when administered to pregnant patients with threatened preterm birth, they are given with optimal timing in less than half of cases of early preterm birth. Further, overuse may result in long-term neurodevelopmental risks to the offspring.

Human milk fortification is nuanced by the biological variability of human milk. More evidence is required to validate how we best fortify human milk for the best outcomes. Nevertheless, a standardized approach to neonatal nutrition is still the best way forward in managing our babies.

More data is needed regarding the use of many commonly used drugs in breastfeeding mothers. This presentation will address the gap in information regarding the extent of drug passage into breast milk and the subsequent infant dose.

Most stillbirth evaluations are incomplete and counseling is inadequate. Research is limited by heterogeneous practice patterns. This presentation will address inconsistencies in counseling and evaluation of a stillbirth.

Infants discharged with a persistent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) need close follow-up. This presentation will address the outcomes of premature infants discharged with a persistent PDA.

The application of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) can drive improvements in multiple aspects of clinical care. Despite this, it is still infrequently utilized in the NICU.

Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease is important in improving postnatal and surgical outcomes. This presentation will address the importance of fetal echocardiography as well as its indications.
