GE Webinar: An approach to diagnosis of common congenital heart defects in fetus using 2D imaging

This insightful webinar by Dr Balu Vaidyanathan covers:

1. In-depth approach towards diagnosis of common congenital heart defects in the fetus using conventional 2D ( B-mode) ultrasound imaging.
2.Approach based on the standard protocol for fetal heart imaging.
3.Examples of the common cardiac abnormalities pertaining to each of the standard cardiac views will be presented in a systemic manner.

I send you a warm greeting from Panama. With great pleasure I have attended this webinar on you tube. Learning from a great teacher, Dr. Balu Vaidyanathan, who knows how to teach, is a privilege. I am an ObGyn M.D, fond of ultrasound, although not trained, and this has been, for me, an opportunity to learn clearly how to do fetal echocardiography. Thank you so much.

Hi there, as we know the tetralogy of fallot among the fourth abnormalities there is a wall thikness of the RV. or RV hypertrophia ..why it is not the case here in case 5 at 1: 00: 50 of the running time of the video ?
even a triology of fallot has a RV hypertrophia.
thanks ..

The answers are harder than the questions!

in the case 8 before the question " the most specific sign of the abnormality " .the 2 images show in the first one ( 4 chambers) a quite equal sizes by the eye of the ventricles and the atriales a little bit big size for the right cavities and this is normal in fœtal blood circulation before birth..in the second one (3 vessels).
there is an anterograde blood flow in both PA and Ao, and no evidence of turbulent flow at the level of the Ao..
therfore the right answer for the question of this case 8 is in my opinion the Ao si much smaller than the PA..☺
in the other hand in the first image i notice as there are high velocities in color doppler at the level of the mitral valve (stenosis?)..and lateraly of tricuspide valve ..and also a dextrocardia if Right and Left are well placed and spine is well visualized in the image. further in the case 8 it is useful to precise that is the left pulmonary artery which si near the trachea in the IAAA taking somehow the place of the absent portion of the aorta in such a deformity

4vt is seen instead of 3vt.
What are the consequences ?
