Zusammenfassung
Anatomy of the fetal heart examined by fetal echocardiography does not always reflect the severity of a cardiopathy. Abnormal haemodynamics could be detected even in a structurally normal fetal heart affected with hypoxia, infection, maternal drug therapy, etc. Heart failure, decreased cardiac output, abnormal flow in the great arteries and veins can be precisely measured by fetal color Doppler-echocardiography (FCDE).Aim: to evaluate the fetal cardiac function of fetuses with congenital heart defect (CHD) and with structurally normal heart by FCDE. Patients, methods: during 8 years 2023 pregnants were examined…
