Babies born with single ventricle malformations have a difficult time getting blood to different areas of the body. Drs. Gruber and Rychik explain the anatomy and physiology of a normal heart vs. a single ventricle heart.
Single ventricle malformations are a group of congenital heart defects in which one of the heart’s pumping chambers (ventricles) develops improperly and cannot effectively circulate blood. In this video series, you'll learn how experts in the Fetal Heart Program at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia diagnose and monitor single ventricle malformations before birth, allowing effective treatment to begin right after delivery.
