Abstract
Fetal echocardiography is the ultrasonic evaluation of the developing human cardiovascular system prior to birth, non-invasive in nature and can be highly accurate. It is presently the standard method used for detection of the fetal cardiovascular disease. (1) The advantage of fetal echocardiography is that ultrasound energy can be applied safely in an evolving fetus and that cardiac structures can be studied early in pregnancy (from 10 to 12 weeks by vaginal approach, and from 16 to 18 weeks by transabdominal approach)(2). It considered a promising diagnostic tool for the prenatal evaluation of cardiac structural anomalies. Recent data demonstrated an improved postnatal outcome for congenital heart disease (CHD) when a prenatal diagnosis via fetal echocardiography was made.(3)
