2 cze 2023 · Effective fetal cardiac screening should maximize detection of structural anomalies and (according to available expertise and resources) abnormalities of function and rhythm, as part of routine prenatal care.
1 lip 2023 · Fetal echocardiography is indicated in the setting of abnormal results on screening ultrasound of the heart regardless of additional risk factors; below are recommended indications for fetal echocardiography on the basis of a priori risk from previously published guidelines and the current document.
INTRODUCTION. This document constitutes a revised and updated version of the previously published ISUOG guidelines for cardiac screening in midgestation1 and reflects current know-ledge about prenatal detection of congenital heart disease (CHD).
Fetal ultrasound heart screening is performed between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy. 3, 5 Some fetal heart abnormalities can be detected between the late first and early second trimester, especially when fetal nuchal translucency (NT) is observed in the first trimester. 3 If the scan is performed at 20–22 weeks, there is a greater probability tha...

21 lut 2006 · Ultrasound determination of fetal sex can benefit decision-making regarding invasive prenatal testing in pregnancies at risk of sex-linked genetic abnormalities. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of fetal sex determination by ultrasound at 12–14 weeks of gestation in a large cohort.
Routine fetal cardiac ultrasound using four-chamber and outflow-tract views enables the detection and characterization of most of the cardiac anomalies. A further comprehensive evaluation can be performed with fetal echocardiography, particularly in high-risk pregnancies and extracardiac anomalies.
