Key result
Echocardiography allows detailed pre- and postnatal examination of the underlying anatomy and physiology in hypoplastic left heart syndrome to guide therapeutic strategies.
Why the study?
Detailed pre- and postnatal echocardiographic assessment is needed to guide therapeutic decision-making in hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
Echocardiography serves as the primary diagnostic tool for detailed pre- and postnatal evaluation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome to guide therapeutic strategies.
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a complex congenital heart defect with clinical presentation in the neonatal period. Echocardiography is the main diagnostic tool and allows detailed examination of the underlying anatomy and physiology and both pre and postnatally. In the following pages, key information regarding the evaluation of the interatrial septum, cardiac valves, right ventricular function, and ductal and aortic arches will be discussed in a systematic fashion allowing decision regarding the possible therapeutic strategies.
