- Title
Correspondence to "Dichorionic Diamniotic Twin Pairs with Complex Congenital Heart Disease".
- Authors
Mastromoro, Gioia; Piacentini, Gerardo
- Abstract
This letter, published in the journal Pediatric Cardiology, discusses the detection of complex congenital heart disease in dichorionic diamniotic twins. The authors compare their own cases of twin pregnancies with those presented in a previous paper. They highlight the importance of understanding the risks and prevalence of cardiovascular malformations in dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies, and suggest that genetic investigations, including evaluation of zygosity and chromosomal analysis, are essential for further understanding the pathophysiology of heart disease in these pregnancies. The authors declare no competing interests.
