Alerts to potential rapid fetal LV progression; single case leaves open generalizability and management implications.
This case confirms the rapid evolutive character of left ventricular disease during fetal life.
Fesslová et al. (1999) studied this question. Fetal left ventricular disease exhibits rapid evolution during gestation, progressing from initial fibroelastosis at 20 weeks to a hypoplastic left ventricle with aortic stenosis at 24 weeks.
