title: [Echocardiography of the fetal heart. Analysis of 350 successive examinations].
abstract: From July 1st 1990 do June 30th 1992 517 fetal echocardiography examinations were performed at the Department of Sonography, Polish Mother Memorial Hospital, (Toshiba 270 SA or Acuson 128 XP) between 20th and 41st gestation weeks. The medical indications for fetal heart examinations were presented. On the basis of echo preliminary diagnoses with 350 newborn's clinical assessment, our own results were reviewed. Correct heart anatomy was described in 94%. In conclusions we suggest that fetal heart assessment (anatomy of the 4 chambers) should be included in a routine screening obstetrical scan in the second half of the pregnancy.
