Abstract

ABSTRACT Congenital cardiac abnormalities are one of the most common birth defects at 1 in 120 births. The majority of which have no underlying risk factors. The fetal heart assessment is felt to be the most challenging part of the anatomy examination and most studies report that nearly half of major heart defects are missed, thus, confirming the challenge for antenatal detection rate. This article reviews the key views and key items to assess in fetal heart imaging during the anatomy ultrasound. How to cite this article Towner D.
