“…A possible reason for this discrepancy is natural fetal loss or pregnancy termination because of abnormalities or malformations of the fetus. Research showed that 74% of isolated fetal VSDs close spontaneously prior to birth [ 41 ].…”

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of prenatal ultrasonography and Doppler sonography in detecting isolated ventricular septal defects (VSDs) in a late-second-trimester population.MethodsFetal echocardiography, Doppler ultrasound, and biometry were used to evaluate 2,661 singleton fetuses (1,381 male fetuses and 1,280 female fetuses) between 1 August 2006 and 31 May 2010. The efficacy of each fetal biometry, Doppler ultrasound, and nasal bone length (NBL) measurement was evaluated in all of the fetuses. A standard fetal echocardiographic evaluation, including two-dimensional gray-scale imaging and color and Doppler color flow mapping, was performed on all fetuses.ResultsWe detected isolated VSDs in 124 of the 2,661 singleton fetuses between 19 and 24 weeks of gestation. The prevalence of isolated VSDs in the study population was 4.66%. A multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that short fetal NBL (odds ratio = 0.691, 95% confidence interval: 0.551 to 0.868) and the pulsatility index (PI) of the umbilical artery (odds ratio = 8.095, 95% confidence interval: 4.309 to 15.207) and of the middle cerebral artery (odds ratio = 0.254, 95% confidence interval: 0.120 to 0.538) are significantly associated with isolated VSDs.ConclusionLate-second-trimester fetal NBL, umbilical artery PI, and middle cerebral artery PI are useful parameters for detecting isolated VSDs, and can be used to estimate the a priori risk of VSDs in women at high risk and at low risk of isolated VSDs.

“…Group 2 consisted of patients referred for other fetal or maternal indications for fetal echocardiography. 6 An intracardiac echogenic focus was defined as a single discrete area of echogenicity noted in the left ventricle, which was as bright as bone. We defined an echogenic focus as isolated if (1) it was not associated with any other maternal or fetal indication for fetal echocardiography, including increased risk of aneuploidy; and (2) findings from the fetal anatomic survey were otherwise normal.…”

Fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) signal holds highly precise indispensable particulars, which potentially support physicians to diagnosis the existence of congenital heart syndromes and make instantaneous assessment if required. There are several FECG examination procedures applied to have precise fetal ECG, but unflatteringly some methods have certain snags. The goal of this study paper is to exemplify the range of existing observation techniques to offer proficient and effectual means of understanding along with their mode of examination at different gestational age. A comparative study has been accomplished to demonstrate the best approach.
