What is Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)?

A baby born with Hypoplastic left heart syndrome has a severely underdeveloped left side of its heart. In babies born with HLHS, the mitral and aortic valves are closed or so small they do not function adequately. The left ventricle is also very small and the first part of the aorta maybe almost non existent, resulting in a heart that can not support sufficient enough circulation to for the body to thrive and survive. In HLHS babies the right ventricle must do all the pumping of blood to the lungs and out through the patent ductus arterious. A baby with HLHS must have immediate surgery to survive.

Zofran® NEVER Approved by FDA to be taken During Pregnancy!

Zofran was approved to be taken for nausea for chemotherapy patients. Though Zofran has a Pregnancy Category B, Zofran was NOT approved by FDA for use by pregnant women.  ObGyn’s and other Doctors prescribing Zofran for an UN-APPROVED use or treatment is legal, but can also be risky to the fetus of the mother. In fact the maker of Zofran, GlaxoSmithKline(GSK) was marketed without FDA approval of pregnant women and later was forced to pay a Two Billion Dollar fine.
