　　According to statistics, there is a congenital heart disease in every 180 newborns in the UK. This is equivalent to 4,000 new congenital heart disease patients every year and 12 new congenital heart disease patients every day. According to "Tencent Science News" and the British "Daily Mail" report, the latest research shows that the first heartbeat of the fetus occurs on the 16th day of pregnancy. Previously, researchers believed that the first cardiac contraction of a human fetus was on the 21st day of pregnancy.

　　At present, a research team at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom has found that human fetuses have an earlier heartbeat. This research was funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF). Research leader and BHF professor Pauliley (Pauliley) understands how the heart develops, analyzes the factors that cause heart defects in the womb before the baby is born, and repairs the adult heart. Said he was looking for a way. These findings will help provide new clues for the treatment of congenital diseases.

　　You can avoid heart disease during pregnancy by discovering the first heartbeat and problems during heart development. Professor Iley and the research team hope this discovery will repair damaged muscles after a heart attack, which is likely to lead to heart failure.

　　The research team discovered the earliest mouse embryo heartbeat in the laboratory. Based on this, it is speculated that the human fetal heartbeat appears for the first time 16 days after pregnancy. The research report has been published in eLife magazine. According to reports, one in 180 newborns in the UK has been diagnosed with congenital heart disease.
