    Early detection of congenital cardiac defects is crucial. This study developed screening criteria using ultrasound in high-risk pregnancies, aiding future research into fetal heart abnormalities.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Congenital cardiac defects, though uncommon, carry severe consequences.
    • Early detection and treatment are vital for managing these conditions.
    • Selective screening protocols are needed for high-risk pregnancies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop workable criteria for selective screening of serious congenital cardiac abnormalities.
    • To assess the feasibility of using commercially available ultrasound equipment for fetal cardiac screening.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized commercially available ultrasound equipment.
    • Screened over 500 high-risk pregnancies.
    • Focused on developing criteria for selective screening of fetal cardiac defects.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully applied ultrasound in a high-risk cohort.
    • Established a basis for workable screening criteria.
    • Demonstrated the utility of standard ultrasound equipment for this purpose.

    Conclusions:

    • Selective screening for congenital cardiac defects is feasible using standard ultrasound.
    • The developed criteria can aid in early detection.
    • Future research may elucidate causes of fetal cardiac defects.
