Fetal Cardiology focuses on the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of congenital heart disease (CHD) and cardiovascular abnormalities before birth. This session provides deep insight into fetal cardiac development, imaging techniques, and multidisciplinary care approaches. As prenatal detection improves globally, clinicians increasingly search for a specialized cardiology conference to refine diagnostic accuracy and improve perinatal outcomes.

The description explores embryologic development of the fetal heart, emphasizing when and how structural abnormalities arise. Participants will learn the fundamentals of fetal circulation, ductal flow, shunt physiology, and unique hemodynamic adaptations. The session provides detailed instruction on using fetal echocardiography to assess chamber formation, valve morphology, outflow tracts, rhythm disturbances, and vascular abnormalities.

A major focus is implementing advanced fetal cardiology management strategies, including serial surveillance, decision-making for delivery planning, managing arrhythmias, assessing fetal heart failure, and counseling families. Participants will understand how to evaluate complex CHD such as HLHS, TGA, TOF, AV canal defects, and outflow obstruction. The session highlights how fetal intervention—including balloon valvuloplasty and atrial septoplasty—can modify outcomes in select cases.

The content also covers genetic associations, risk factors for CHD, maternal–fetal interactions, and conditions such as fetal hydrops, intrauterine growth restriction, maternal diabetes, and lupus-associated heart block. Case discussions demonstrate how to interpret rhythm disturbances and treat conditions like SVT and complete heart block in utero.

Future developments include AI-driven fetal imaging enhancement, advanced fetal MRI, 3D/4D echo, and improved strategies for in-utero intervention. By the end, participants will understand how fetal cardiology enhances neonatal survival and optimizes long-term outcomes.
