Fetal Cardiovascular Center
Lifesaving research
A staggering 40,000 babies are born with a heart defect each year in the United States, according to the American Heart Association. We’re working to address that issue.
Our investigators are using high-tech ultrasound tools to conduct cutting-edge research in fetal cardiovascular diseases and placental function. With these new discoveries, we hope to develop improved therapies for fetal congenital heart disease.
