Echocardiography

Fetal Echocardiography

Fetal Echocardiography (M-Mode) along with Doppler ultrasonography, have helped to diagnose the abnormalities in structure and function of fetal heart in utero. It could be done as early as 16 weeks of gestation. It has helped the physicians to make better management plans for pregnancy, delivery, post-natal period and parental counseling. M-mode Echocardiography can also pick arrhythmia in utero. The early detection of arrhythmia is of great importance, as it could be treated by maternal administration of anti-arrhythmic drugs like digoxin, procainamide, propranolol (reaches the fetus transplacentally)or could be directly injected to the umbilical veins of fetus.

Echocardiography in Newborns and Adults

It has become the standard for diagnosis of congenital heart malformations. It could diagnose malformations like coarctation of aorta, patent ductus arteriosus, hypoplastic left heart syndrome and others with great confidence.[1] Patent ductus arteriosus is a poor example as its patency is physiological during pregnancy. Coarctation of aorta is a very difficult diagnosis during fetal life and also a poor example of the great performance of featl cardiac ultrasonography.

Recommendations for Echocardiography

Class I
1.Intraoperative TEE is recommended to guide surgical repair of CHD in adults. (Level of Evidence: B-NR)
2.Patients with ACHD should undergo transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for initial assessment, with timing of serial assessment based on anatomic and physiological severity and clinical status.(Level of Evidence: C-EO)
