Title: Prenatal Diagnosis of Congenital Heart Disease – Where Are We?
Presenter: Nithya Swaminathan, MD, and Mishella Perez, BS, RDMS, RDCS, FAIUM
Format: PowerPoint Slides
Overview
This presentation focuses on improving prenatal detection of congenital heart disease (CHD) by first assessing current diagnostic rates to understand how effectively CHD is identified during pregnancy, then identifying key barriers that limit timely prenatal referrals, such as gaps in provider awareness, access to specialized imaging, and system inefficiencies; based on these insights, it proposes a streamlined and standardized referral pathway with clearer screening protocols and stronger collaboration across care teams to enhance early diagnosis, while also outlining a future vision centered on expanding education, improving access to advanced technologies, and creating a more consistent and equitable system for prenatal CHD detection and care.
