Cardiac NEC Webinar Recording

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating intestinal disease that primarily affects babies born prematurely or with a medical condition. NEC is likely caused by many factors, with the lack of blood flow to the intestine possibly playing a key role. Babies with certain medical conditions, such as complex congenital heart disease (CHD), are at a higher risk of developing NEC, even when they are born at term. Changes in blood flow from the heart disease may compromise blood flow to the intestine and potentially lead to necrotizing enterocolitis.
Feeding vulnerable infants mothers milk offers the best protection against NEC, but human milk does not eliminate the risks of NEC. We need to do more to better understand and prevent NEC in our preemie and cardiac babies. The NEC Society is committed to building a world without this devastating disease.
