Advancing Fetal Cardiac Care Through Research

Lurie Children’s Fetal Cardiology Program leads nationally in research innovation, translating groundbreaking discoveries into improved patient outcomes. Through collaboration with the National Pediatric Cardiology Quality Improvement Collaborative and the Fetal Heart Society, our team studies predictive fetal imaging, outcomes modeling, and high-risk conditions such as truncus arteriosus and d-TGA. 

Our research directly informs clinical care—strengthening counseling, planning, and outcomes.
