Fetal echocardiography.
Fetal echocardiography has become an essential tool for the thorough evaluation of the fetus at risk for congenital heart disease. This examination is now a part of standard medical practice and should no longer be considered investigational. Widespread use of fetal echocardiography is providing valuable insights into fetal cardiac embryology and physiology that have not been previously possible.
