Cara was diagnosed with the rare condition of Truncus Arteriosus which is a congenital heart defect. The defect occurs within the first few weeks of pregnancy. It was undetected until labour began. Essentially, the two main vessels leaving the heart (aorta and pulmonary artery) are conjoined together. For more information on this condition, please follow this link:
