2023 Fetal Echocardiography: Normal and Abnormal Hearts

Target Audience

• Discuss indications for fetal echocardiography, review existing guidelines and the approach to patient counseling.
• Optimize ultrasound equipment for the use of 2D and Doppler in fetal echocardiography.
• Review the normal fetal cardiac anatomy.
• Describe the abnormalities of the venous system of the fetal heart.
• Discuss in detail anomalies of the cardiac chambers to include septal defects and anomalies of the right and left ventricle.
• Review in detail anomalies of the outflow tracts to include transposition of great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot complex and aortic arch abnormalities.
