This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand how a mother's heart function changes during pregnancy when her baby has been diagnosed with a congenital heart defect (a structural problem with the baby's heart present from birth). This study will measure specific aspects of how your heart is working at different points during your pregnancy and shortly after delivery, using a non-invasive ultrasound technique called USCOM. The goal is to learn whether changes in the mother's heart function are connected to complications like preeclampsia (dangerous high blood pressure in pregnancy) and whether this information could help doctors better care for mothers and babies in similar situations.
When a baby has a congenital heart defect, the pregnancy can sometimes be more complicated for the mother, including higher risks of dangerous blood pressure problems. Doctors don't fully understand why this happens or how the mother's heart function is affected. This study aims to fill that gap so that doctors can better predict and manage these complications in future pregnancies.

You would have heart function measurements performed using a special ultrasound device (USCOM) at your first appointment when your baby's heart defect is diagnosed (or when you first come to the study center), then every two weeks until you deliver your baby. Each measurement takes just a few minutes and is painless. You would also have one final heart function measurement within 72 hours after delivery. The study will also collect information from your medical records about your blood pressure, blood tests, ultrasound findings, and details about your delivery and your baby's health after birth.
