Factor Information
Data ID 1886
Factor TOF
Description The largest differences from controls occurred in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), followed by aortic hypoplasia, transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)(P<0.001).
Biomarker NA
Classification A3 (clinical factor - disease & symptom)
Association
Application diagnosis
Objective To investigate the volume of intracranial structures in fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD).
p Value <0.001
Conclusion The volume of intracranial structures is smaller in fetuses with CHD, particularly in those with HLHS, aortic hypoplasia or TGA. This study highlights the need for routine brain screening and early intervention to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in fetuses with CHD.
