Prenatal screening for congenital heart disease with four‐chamber and outflow‐tract views: a multicenter study

Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are the most common congenital anomalies, and most cases occur in the low‐risk population. Prenatal ultrasound screening based on visualization of the four‐chamber view has had disappointing results in detecting these anomalies thus far. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound screening based on the combination of the four‐chamber and outflow‐tract views.
