Congenital heart disease
Prevention:
Avoid the use of alcohol and other drugs during pregnancy. Physicians should be made aware that a woman is pregnant before prescribing for any medications for her. The immune status for rubella should evaluated early in the pregnancy. If the mother is not immune she must avoid any possible exposure to rubella and should be immunized immediately following delivery. Genetic counseling is of little help unless there is a family history of some genetic disease associated with CHD.
