Key Points

To evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of performing fetal echocardiography between 11 and 13 weeks of gestation using transabdominal high-frequency ultrasound.
Assessed fetal cardiac structures at 11–13 weeks of gestation.
Utilized transabdominal high-resolution, high-frequency ultrasound equipment operated by trained obstetricians.
Achieved a high degree of diagnostic accuracy in fetal heart evaluation during the 11–13-week gestational window.
Demonstrated that skilled operators using high-resolution transabdominal transducers can reliably visualize early fetal cardiac anatomy.
