Cardiac ultrasound: its role in the recognition and management of fetal heart disease

S S Gidding et al. Echocardiography. 1991 Jul.

Abstract

This article briefly reviews the role of ultrasound scanning in the diagnosis and management of fetal cardiac disease. Currently, the potential exists for the accurate identification of a wide range of cardiac defects and for the diagnosis and successful management of many cardiac rhythm disturbances. Considerable benefit is derived for families with previously affected children when a normal fetal cardiac ultrasound report can be provided.
