title: Screening for congenital heart disease during anatomical survey ultrasonography.
abstract: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is among the most common congenital abnormalities. The prevalence of CHD ranges between 0.6% and 1.2% of live births. Despite its high prevalence, CHD is also among the most commonly missed abnormalities during prenatal ultrasound examination. A simple yet systematic approach to fetal heart examination, regular feedback, and implementation of training programs could improve detection rates and, in turn, neonatal outcome.
