Routine ultrasound examination of the fetus is already established in most obstetric units in
Britain. A simple method was devised to evaluate one section of the fetal heart …

Thirty‐one fetuses with growth retardation were studied by Doppler estimation of the cardiac
output from each side of the fetal heart. Asymmetrical growth retardation was diagnosed in …

Fourteen mothers were treated with flecainide for fetal atrial tachycardias associated with
intrauterine cardiac failure. Twelve of the 14 fetuses responded by conversion to sinus …

OBJECTIVE--To examine the relation between a characteristic form of left ventricular
dysfunction in the fetus and abnormalities of the aortic valve and endocardial fibroelastosis …

The cardiothoracic ratio was measured in 410 normal fetuses and in a group of 73 fetuses
with functional or structural heart disease. In normal fetuses it was fairly constant throughout …

In 450 cases of structural heart disease diagnosed prenatally, 38 fetuses (8.5%) had either a
dysplastic or a displaced tricuspid valve. The tricuspid valve was dysplastic in 22 fetuses, all …

Pulsed wave Doppler estimates of blood flow velocity were made across the mitral, tricuspid,
aortic, and pulmonary valves in a series of 120 normal fetuses (gestational age 16-36 …

In a prospective echocardiographic study of over 2000 pregnancies, 24 fetuses were found
to have dilatation of the right ventricle and pulmonary artery when these structures were …

Fetal echocardiography can ascertain, at an early stage in pregnancy, recurrences of
congenital heart disease (CHD) in mothers with a family history of CHD. In 1,021 mothers …

The accuracy of the echocardiographic diagnosis of fetal heart disease in an experienced
centre was evaluated by analysing the results achieved during 1987 at the Perinatal …
