PY - 2017 T2 - Neonatal Cardiology, 3e AB - Evaluation of a fetus for structural or functional cardiovascular disease has become routine now that there is widespread use of fetal ultrasound in obstetrical practice. In addition, greater understanding of the genetic basis for congenital cardiovascular defects has prompted screening of patients who might not have been referred for evaluation in the past. It is important to understand the uses and limitations of fetal echocardiography to optimally utilize this technology and to provide appropriate counseling to parents. This chapter provides a limited overview of fetal cardiology as a foundation for understanding selected aspects of fetal cardiovascular disease. Comprehensive references on fetal cardiology and, in particular, fetal echocardiography are listed at the end of this chapter.
