We will also be highlighting recent advances in fetal diagnosis and treatment and innovative therapeutic strategies for congenital heart disease.

During the one-and-a-half day symposium, experts in the field of fetal cardiology and maternal-fetal medicine will interact with healthcare professionals to discuss detection of serious cardiac abnormalities during pregnancy and how to discern when to refer to a fetal cardiology specialist for further testing, counseling, and intervention. Additionally, they will provide education on the current International Society for Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG), American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), and American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines to increase screening efficacy and facilitate appropriate referrals to specialized prenatal imaging centers.
