On Tuesday January 17th, 2017, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark was on her way to the Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, and had an appointment with doctors to present an innovative research project. The two-year program consists of offering parents of children born in Copenhagen take an ultrasound of their heart. Amongst the requirements were:  the ultrasounds must be performed within the first 14 days of the life of these infants.

Named "Copenhagen Baby Heart," the goal of this program, which aims to screen about 30,000 newborns, is to gain a better understanding of the number of children who come into the world with heart problems. "It allows us to study the benefits of a complete cardiac analysis right after birth to detect and eventually treat congenital heart defects," says the Palais.

To the experts' explanations, the future Queen Consorts, who wore a pair of black trousers on a pearl-black gray coat, was able to add the practice. On the occasion of this visit, the young mom of 4 attended the ultrasound of a baby, well mounted on a cushion placed on the legs of his mother.

After visiting children, their parents and knowing more about how to detect and provide treatments about heart disease, there was also talk at the Hotel d'Angleterre in Copenhagen, where the research fellowships awarded by "Hjerteforeningens" (the Heart Association) and Bornehjertefondens (the Foundation Heart of child) of which Mary of Denmark is the mtron. Before and after this ceremony, the Princess, herself a mother of four children, did not fail to meet young boys and girls suffering from congenital heart defects and their families.
