Why Fetal Echocardiography Matters
Fetal echocardiography is a critical component of prenatal care, and its significance cannot be overstated. Congenital heart defects are among the most common congenital anomalies, affecting approximately 1 in 100 pregnancies. Identifying and diagnosing these anomalies early in pregnancy is essential for effective management and planning for the delivery and postnatal care of the newborn. The ability to perform accurate fetal echocardiography is a skill that can have a profound impact on both maternal and fetal outcomes.
