Prenatal ultrasound screening of congenital heart disease in the general population: general concepts, guidelines, differential diagnoses.

Abstract:

:Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) carry a high prevalence rate in the general population (0.8%-1%). Most fetal CHDs occur in patients without any risk factors. The prenatal recognition of CHD has major impacts on the pregnancy and its outcome. The aforementioned data justify prenatal ultrasound (US) screening of CHD in the general low-risk population. As demonstrated in the literature, the application of an extended basic US cardiac examination improves the detection of CHD, in particular the conotruncal anomalies. The stepwise method suggested for fetal heart US screening during the mid-second trimester sonogram is based on 4 routine axial views of heart and great vessels: (1) a transverse view of the superior abdomen, (2) a 4-chamber view, (3) a 3-vessel view, and (4) a transverse view of the aortic arch. This protocol can be obtained rapidly because these scans are easy to perform. Despite the fact that the sequential segmental approach universally used in the postnatal diagnosis of CHD is not specifically addressed here, the detected anomalies can be categorized according to these views, and a short differential diagnosis proposed. Abnormal cardiac and/or vascular landmarks shown on these key scans should lead to a referral in the fetal cardiac center for a more precise evaluation, as well as for counseling.
