Screening of Congenital Heart Diseases with Fetal Phonocardiography
The paper presents a novel screening method to indicate congenital heart diseases (CHD), which otherwise could remain undetected because of their low level. Therefore, not belonging to the high-risk population, the pregnancies are not subject to the regular fetal monitoring with ultrasound echocardiography. Based on the fact that CHD is a morphological defect of the heart causing turbulent bloo...
متن کاملScreening of fetal congenital heart disease: the challenge continues.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital malformation [1] in fetuses. It affects eight per 1,000 live births and is more common antenatally [2-5]. In beginning, cardiac evaluation was confined to pregnancies at increased risk of CHD, such as those with a family history of CHD or where extracardiac malformations had been detected. However, up to 86% of CHD occurs in pregnanci...
متن کاملPulmonary Hypoplasia Associated with Congenital Heart Diseases: A Fetal Study
BACKGROUND Abnormalities of the fetal pulmonary vasculature may affect lung morphogenesis. Postnatal studies have suggested that pulmonary hypoplasia (PH) may be associated with congenital heart diseases (CHDs). OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of PH associated with CHDs, and to evaluate whether CHDs with right outflow obstruction were associated with the highest risk of lung growth impa...
متن کاملEvaluation of Pulse Oximetry in the Early Detection of Congenital Heart Diseases in Newborns
Background: Congenital heart diseases, which are asymptomatic at birth, are the most important causes of infant mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the role of pulse oximetry in the early detection of congenital heart diseases among newborns.Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 1230 newborns who were born in university hospitals in an urban area of Iran were placed unde...
متن کاملLength to width ratio of the ductus venosus in simple screening for fetal congenital heart diseases in the second trimester
Antenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) is still low even though screening was first introduced over 25 years ago. The purpose of our study was to determine the efficacy of a second-trimester prenatal ultrasonographic method of screening for CHD.From September 2012 to September 2013, the length and width of the fetal ductus venosus were measured sonographically in 1006 singleton f...
