In this week's episode we speak with Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Mount Sinai, Dr. Jennifer Cohen about a recent large scale Fetal Heart Society project she conducted on the topic of fetal ccTGA and outcomes. What observations in fetal life are associated with worse clinical outcomes? Why is it valuable to perform serial fetal echocardiograms in this patient group? How common are genetic or extracardiac abnormalities in this patient group? These are amongst the many questions reviewed with Dr. Cohen in this week's extra special 2 episode release week.
