While not all cardiac abnormalities can be prevented, certain measures can reduce the risk, including:
- Prenatal Care: Regular prenatal visits and ultrasound scans can help detect heart defects early. - Healthy Lifestyle: Pregnant women should maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding harmful substances like alcohol and tobacco. - Genetic Counseling: Families with a history of congenital heart defects may benefit from genetic counseling.
