Tetralogy of Fallot: what does this diagnosis mean during pregnancy?

Dr. Andre Miyague March 13, 2026

Receiving the news that there is a heart defect in the baby during pregnancy often generates many doubts and insecurities. Among the congenital heart defects that can be identified prenatally is... Fallot's Tetralogy, a heart condition that is relatively well-known in medicine, but poorly understood by the general public.

In this article, I explain What is Tetralogy of Fallot, how can it be identified during pregnancy, and why is prenatal diagnosis so important for planning the baby's care?.

The goal is to transform a complex medical term into understandable information, without alarmism and always based on evidence.

The relationship between the Obstetrician and the Fetal Medicine specialist: two areas that complement each other in caring for the same life.

Dr. Andre Miyague December 3, 2025

When a pregnant woman arrives at the doctor's office for the first time, she brings with her a mixture of joy, expectation, and worry. And it is precisely at this beginning that a common question arises: What is the difference between an obstetrician and a doctor specializing in fetal medicine?

They both participate in the same pregnancy, care for the same baby, and walk together, but each with a very specific role.

It is about this partnership that I want to talk here. To explain how we complement each other, why we work side by side, and how this relationship ensures greater safety, diagnostic accuracy, and peace of mind for the family.

Because before anything else, it's important to understand what this result actually means.

Dr. Andre Miyague October 2, 2024

Pregnancy is a phase full of discoveries and emotions. One of the biggest concerns for parents is the healthy growth of their baby. An important way to monitor this development is to understand concepts such as percentiles and growth charts. Furthermore, it's essential to know how to identify cases where the baby is not growing as expected, which we call Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR).

In this article, I will explain in a simple and clear way what these terms mean, such as percentile, what normal growth is, and the differences between early and late fetal growth restriction.
