Does fetal echocardiography accurately identify congenital heart disease in pregnancies?
Fetal echocardiography is a reliable technique for accurately predicting structural malformations of the heart in early pregnancy.
Allan et al. (1984) conducted an observational in Fetal congenital heart disease (n=1,600). Fetal echocardiography was evaluated on Identification of congenital heart disease. Fetal echocardiography correctly identified 34 cases of congenital heart disease among 1600 pregnancies, with 8 interpretation errors, demonstrating reliability for early prognosis.
