Abstract
Evaluation of the fetal heart is an integral part of prenatal care. Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common major congenital anomalies, affecting approximately 0.8–1% of live births. Screening for CHDs has shown to improve perinatal outcomes. The performance of screening programs lies, among others, in the systematization of the sonographic evaluation. This review aims to outline the technique for conducting a basic fetal cardiac examination as well as to report the main indications for referral for advanced echocardiography and succinctly describe the technique for advanced echocardiography and first-trimester evaluation of the fetal heart.
