About

This week we review a recent survey study assessing the beliefs of fetal cardiologists and how these may influence the content and conduct of their counseling. Do most fetal cardiologists review all options including intervention, comfort care and pregnancy termination? Should there be a mandate that all do? Is it realistic or appropriate to ask a fetal cardiologist to suggest an option when they do not believe it to be a reasonable or correct choice? We speak with two of the authors of this work and they are Dr. Joanne Chiu of Harvard University and Dr. Caitlin Haxel of The University of Vermont. DOI: 10.1002/pd.6706
