Fetal echocardiography was initially used to detect structural anomalies but has more
recently also been proposed to assess fetal cardiac function. This review summarizes …

Fetal echocardiography was initially used to diagnose structural heart disease, but recent
interest has focused on functional assessment. Effects of extracardiac conditions on the …

Introduction: Fetal heart evaluation with US is feasible and reproducible, although
challenging due to the smallness of the heart, the high heart rate and limited access to the …

Fetal cardiac function is increasingly recognized as a marker of disease severity and
prognosis in selected fetal conditions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used in …

We describe the hemodynamic changes observed in fetuses with extra cardiac conditions
such as intrauterine growth restriction, tumors, twin–twin transfusion syndrome, congenital …

The development of high-resolution ultrasound has allowed detailed examination of the fetal
heart. The accuracy of fetal echocardiography in the diagnosis of malformations of the fetal …

Fetal echocardiography has progressed to be able to diagnose many forms of congenital
heart disease (CHD) and to assess the prognosis of cardiac lesions based on their anatomy …

The purpose of this review is to evaluate the current modalities available for the assessment
of fetal cardiac function. The unique anatomy and physiology of the fetal circulation are …

Objectives To explore the technical aspects and clinical utility of early fetal
echocardiography and screening of the fetal heart in early pregnancy. Also, to document …

Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common congenital anomaly, and the majority
can be diagnosed during prenatal life. Prenatal detection rates remain highly variable, as …
