| Abstract: | Fetal echocardiography is an essential technique in the evaluation and management of fetal disease. Recent reviews address the accuracy of the technique, the benefit of routine screening, the association with chromosomal defects, and outcomes in fetuses with the prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease. Advances in Doppler have resulted in the more accurate and rapid diagnosis of structural heart disease, and in the use of this technique in the physiological assessment of fetal disease states. |
