Erythroblastosis Fetalis: Causes, Effects, and Cardiovascular Complications

Erythroblastosis fetalis is not a congenital cardiovascular disease. It is a hemolytic condition caused by blood-type incompatibility between mother and fetus. The mother's immune system attacks fetal red blood cells, leading to anemia and other complications. While not primarily a cardiovascular disorder, it can cause secondary cardiovascular issues such as heart failure and pulmonary hypertension.
