While there is no surefire way to prevent TOF, some steps can be taken to reduce the risk. These include:
- Prenatal care: Regular check-ups and early screening can help in early diagnosis and management. - Genetic counseling: For families with a history of congenital heart defects, genetic counseling can provide information on the risks and options. - Avoiding harmful substances: Pregnant women should avoid alcohol, tobacco, and certain medications that may increase the risk of congenital defects.
