Septal thickening is common yet unrelated to maternal HbA1c in these infants; leaves open non-glycemic mechanisms and prospective validation.
Does maternal HbA1 level correlate with newborn ventricular septal thickness in infants of well-controlled diabetic mothers?
In infants of well-controlled diabetic mothers, echocardiographic evidence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is common but does not correlate with third-trimester maternal HbA1 levels.
Sheehan et al. (1986) studied this question.
