A member asked:
Can a fetus have a heart attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In rare anomalies.: When the fetal coronary arteries are deriving their blood supply from less oxygenated blood due to a complex cardiac anomaly, then the possibility of cardiac ischemia and failure is present. These are very rare cases, though, and best managed at a quaternary fetal center [e.g. http://women.texaschildrens.org/fetalcenter/].
