Conotruncal anomalies raise an immediate set of challenges: estimating genetic risk, selecting the right test, and counselling families with precision. Most of these defects are surgically correctable, but their strong association with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (DiGeorge syndrome) often defines the long-term outcome and counselling complexity more than the cardiac lesion itself. This blog provides a…

Immune-mediated fetal heart block is rare but potentially serious. New insights support prophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine and selective use of steroids or IVIG. This post offers a clear, updated clinical overview of diagnosis, risk stratification, and personalized care for fetal CHB in mothers with anti-Ro/La antibodies.
