When Fetal Echocardiography Meets Genetics

Wednesday, April 10, 2024

9:00am - 10:30am

Location:Governor's C - 4th Floor

CE: 1.5

Genetic disorders are often associated with abnormal cardiac development, and thus prenatal cardiac findings can provide clues to the underlying genetic cause. This session will highlight characteristic cardiac abnormalities, genetic counseling, and diagnostic testing for commonly encountered genetic disorders.
