[MUSIC PLAYING] - I'm Tom Albrecht. I'm a pediatric cardiologist the University of Virginia. I had a nephew when I was in medical school born with congenital heart disease and got to meet the pediatric cardiologist here, and then actually did some research in cardiology, decided to make it a career. I've been able now to concentrate mostly on fetal echo cardiography, which is the care of pregnant women and children or fetuses with congenital heart disease and have developed a program here that I think deals with the complexities of particularly moms who now are giving birth to children with know congenital heart disease and how to prepare those families and how to best treat those infants. 

Were able now to send the majority of our children to surgery without the need for invasive procedures, such as catheterization. So they're sent of the data collected from an ultrasound. I've been doing this long enough now that I've been able to see children born with really significant lesions grow up and actually lead adult lives now.
