Fetal Echocardiography to Diagnose Fetal Heart Disease

NeoReviews, 2012
Fetal echocardiography plays a central role in the evaluation of fetuses at risk for heart disease. It allows for detection of cardiac malformations, dysrhythmias, and evaluation of cardiac function. Indications for fetal echocardiography span a wide range that extends from the abnormal screening ultrasound in a low-risk pregnancy to the high-risk ...

Surgically correctable fetal disease

The American Journal of Surgery, 2000
This paper will give an overview of fetal intervention over the last 2 decades. It is interesting to think that what we think of as birth defects are not really such at all. They are defects that become manifest at birth but which have a long and interesting history. As Samuel Taylor Coleridge said, “The history of man for the nine months preceding his

The fetal origins of adult disease

Fetal and Maternal Medicine Review, 1994
Recent studies have shown that babies who are small for dates at birth, or who fail to grow in infancy, have, in adult life, raised blood pressure, impaired glucose tolerance, abnormal serum lipids, raised fibrinogen and high death rates from coronary disease, stroke and obstructive lung disease.

Immunologic Disease and Fetal Death

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1987
Both maternal isoimmunization and maternal autoimmune disease are associated with fetal death. For isoimmunization the immunologic nature of fetal death (hydrops fetalis) is beyond question, but many of the details are poorly understood. It would be extremely helpful to know what immunologic factors are responsible for the wide variation in the degree ...

Genetics of Fetal Disease

2010
The causes of congenital anomalies are genetic and nongenetic. Genetic disorders include chromosomal disorder, single gene (monogenic) disorders, and multifactorial disorders that result from the interaction of multiple genes and environmental factors. There is little experience with fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and genetic disorders. However,

Familial Diseases Revealed by a Fetal Anomaly

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2006
The recognition of a fetal anomaly can lead to the same diagnosis being made in one of the asymptomatic parents unaware of the problem. We analyzed cases in which the discovery of a fetal anomaly led to the discovery of a genetic familial disorder.Families in which the recognition of a fetal anomaly led to the same diagnosis being made in one of the ...

Frontiers in fetal cardiovascular disease

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2004
This article reviews the state of the art in prenatal cardiovascular imaging, the elucidation of regional vascular flow patterns in the developing fetus and what can be learned from these flow patterns, the new clinical practice systems being that are being implemented to deal with the fetal patient and its family, and the prospects for fetal surgery.

Role of redox in fetal development and neonatal diseases.

Antioxidants and Redox Signaling, 2004
In the cell, reducing and oxidizing molecules modulate the redox state. In embryonic and fetal growth, increased oxidative stress may be detrimental, but an oxidized state can also be beneficial.

Fetal Cardiac Disease

2018
The optimal management of pregnancies involving fetal congenital anomalies is important because the events of perinatal period are strongly associated with perioperative mortality and long-term outcomes. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most prominent birth defects; however, few reports on obstetrical issues in pregnancy with fetal CHD have
