Summary: This text/atlas provides a multidisciplinary approach to fetal cardiac ultrasound. It covers all aspects of the subject, including how to perform a fetal echocardiogram--the scanning views involved, the correct equipment to use, and the technical and anatomical limitations; normal anatomy--views, variants, and common pitfalls in scanning and diagnosis; abnormalities--what they look like, which scanning views and modalities to use, differential diagnosis, and prognosis and treatment; and modalities--how and when to use the different types of ultrasound. It also serves as an all-inclusive reference of the drugs, chromosomal abnormalities, and syndromes associated with congenital heart disease. Presents the skills and perspectives of experts from a variety of disciplines that are necessary to diagnose and manage a wide array of complex cardiac problems presented by the fetus. Provides vital information regarding surgical techniques available for specific cardiac abnormalities and their success rates--useful when counselling parents on what to expect before and after birth. Reviews structural and rhythm abnormalities in the fetal heart, what they look like on ultrasound, and which scanning views are necessary for accurate diagnosis. Describes common pitfalls encountered in fetal echocardiography, including normal variants which are often mistaken for abnormalities. Contains the most extensive list in publication of drugs, syndromes, and chromosome abnormalities associated with congenital heart disease. Takes a step-by-step approach to the different scanning views involved, the correct equipment to use, the technical and anatomic limitations of fetal echocardiography, and much more. Explains how and when to use different aspects of ultrasound, including 2-D imaging, M-Mode, Pulsed Doppler, Color Flow Imaging, and Color Power. Features more than 320 clearly reproduced ultrasound images--18 in full color--of normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy. Makes specific guidance easy to find with separate chapters and tables for each kind of abnormality.
