Fetal echocardiography — A recent four year experience from a single urban center

The purpose of this study was to determine the yield of fetal echocardiography based on indications for referral and to establish the incidence of structural heart disease noted in a diverse urban population.A retrospective review of our Pediatric Echocardiography Laboratory database was undertaken from March 2010 to June 2014. Demographic information, indications for referral and prenatal diagnoses were recorded. The diagnosed cardiac anomalies were classified into structural and rhythm abnormalities and the former was divided into major and minor anomalies.
