Atrioventricular Canal Defect

Hypothesis/aims of study. Fetal heart defects are the most common malformations causing infant mortality. The task of the obstetric care service is to make a timely diagnosis, which includes high-quality ultrasound screening and, if necessary, fetal echocardiography. This study aimed to compare fetal echocardiography with postpartum echocardiography. Study design, materials and methods. 101 pregnant women with both isolated fetal heart defects and combined pathology were examined for the period 20172019. Results. The greatest number of heart defects was detected at 2331 weeks of gestation. The structure of the malformations is diverse, the most common one being a complete form of the atrioventricular canal defect. In multiple pregnancies, complex heart defects were often combined with abnormalities in other organ systems. Conclusion. It is recommended to describe the heart structure in detail from 2122 weeks of pregnancy. If cardiac pathology is detected in utero, it is mandatory to conduct an examination of other fetal organs.

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.
