Key result
Fetal echocardiography effectively identifies structural defects, rhythm abnormalities, and functional aspects of the fetal heart.
Why the study?
Fetal echocardiography is important for diagnosing fetal cardiac anomalies and associated conditions during targeted anomaly scans.
Fetal echocardiography is a crucial imaging modality for identifying structural defects, rhythm abnormalities, and functional aspects of the fetal heart.
Supports fetal echocardiography in prenatal cardiac assessment; leaves open standardization of protocols and outcome impact.
USG performed with a high-end machine, using a good cine-loop facility is extremely helpful in the diagnosis of fetal cardiac anomalies. In fetal echocardiography, the four-chamber view and the outflow-tract view are used to diagnose cardiac anomalies. The most important objective during a targeted anomaly scan is to identify those cases that need a dedicated fetal echocardiogram. Associated truncal and chromosomal anomalies need to be identified. This review shows how fetal echocardiography, apart from identifying structural defects in the fetal heart, can be used to look at rhythm abnormalities and other functional aspects of the fetal heart.
