Placental maternal vascular malperfusion is increased in FCHD. The prevalence of vascular malperfusion did not differ by FCHD type, indicating that CHD type does not predict the likelihood of placental vascular dysfunction. Further investigation of the placental-fetal heart axis in FCHD is warranted given the importance of placental health.
