Key result
Fetal echocardiography demonstrated a 94% accuracy in diagnosing congenital heart diseases when confirmed by postnatal echocardiography.
Why the study?
Identifying congenital heart disease prenatally and understanding associated risk factors can aid in early diagnosis, intervention, and postnatal management.

Does prenatal fetal echocardiography accurately diagnose congenital heart disease in at-risk pregnant women compared to postnatal echocardiography?
Prenatal fetal echocardiography is a highly accurate (94%) tool for the early diagnosis of congenital heart disease in both high- and low-risk pregnancies, facilitating appropriate postnatal management.
Yıldız et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Congenital Heart Disease (n=993). Fetal echocardiography vs. Postnatal echocardiography was evaluated on Accuracy of fetal echocardiography in diagnosing CHD. Fetal echocardiography demonstrated a 94% accuracy in diagnosing congenital heart diseases when confirmed by postnatal echocardiography.
