Main Results:

  • Divergent outcomes reported in fetal CHD screening studies.
  • Ongoing debate regarding the best timing and modality for fetal heart scans.
  • Abnormal fetal heart position identified as a potential marker for great artery defects.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to establish optimal fetal CHD screening protocols.
  • Fetal echocardiography remains a key tool, but its application requires refinement.
  • Early identification of abnormal fetal heart position aids in timely intervention for great artery abnormalities.
