[Fetal cardiac defects in pregnancy complicated by diabetes mellitus].
Diabetic pregnancy cause a lot of complications where fetal malformation is one of the most serious. Cardiac defects are besides the neural tube ones the most often in this group of pathology. Lack of pregnancy planning and thanks to it hyperglycemia during conceptive period and early embryogenesis increases the risk of fetal defect. We describe some typical cardiac malformation and functional disturbances connected with fetal heart. In our research we show the basic scheme of obstetrical fetal echocardiography and some common diagnostic problems we meet during our examinations. In conclusion references were reviewed which described the new approach for clinical assessment of the fetal heart like 3D and STIC; and the early diagnostic fetal echocardiography turn of the 1st and 2nd trimester.
