Fetal echocardiography in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease

Abstract Fetal echocardiography provides an opportunity to diagnose congenital heart disease as early as the midtrimester of pregnancy, allowing for proper planning of perinatal care and counselling of the parents. This paper reviews the accuracy and outcomes of fetal cardiac ultrasound studies at The Prince Charles Hospital over the past 4 years.
