Abstract
Maternal diabetes mellitus significantly affects the fetal heart and fetal-placental circulation in both structure and function. The influence of pre-conceptional diabetes begins during embryonic development in the first trimester, with altered cardiac morphogenesis and placental development. It continues to have an influence on the fetal circulation through the second and third trimesters and into the perinatal and neonatal period.Entities:
