A New Method Using the Four‐Chamber View to Identify Fetuses With Subsequently Confirmed Postnatal Aortic Coarctation Open
Objective To determine the sensitivity, specificity, and false‐positive rate among fetuses suspected prenatally to have coarctation of the aorta (CoA) using size and shape measurements of the fetal heart from the four‐chamber view (4CV). M…

New Fetal Sonographic Marker to Rule Out Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return: Color Doppler Drainage From Pulmonary Vein to Atrium to Ventricle (CDDVAV) Open
Many cases of total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) present with life‐threatening pulmonary venous obstruction within hours following delivery. As a result, prenatal detection represents an important approach to optimizing outcom…

Review of speckle tracking analysis to measure the size, shape, and contractility of the fetal heart in fetuses with congenital heart defects Open
Evaluation of the fetal heart involves two approaches. The first describes a screening protocol in which the heart is imaged in transverse planes that includes the four‐chamber view (4CV), left and right outflow tracts, and the 3‐vessel‐tr…

Evaluation of cardiac findings using speckle‐tracking echocardiography in fetuses with hemoglobin Bart's disease Open
Objective Hemoglobin (Hb) Bart's disease is a severe manifestation of alpha‐thalassemia, resulting in fetal tissue hypoxia and severe anemia. There is limited research available on assessing speckle‐tracking analysis of the fetal heart as …

Integration of Prenatal Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Congenital Heart Disease Open
Standard of care echocardiography can have limited diagnostic accuracy in certain cases of fetal congenital heart disease. Prenatal cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has potential to provide additional anatomic imaging inform…

Longitudinal Surveillance of Fetal Heart Failure Using Speckle Tracking Analysis Open
Long-term monitoring of a fetus with heart failure is an undeniable challenge for prenatal cardiology. Echocardiography is constrained by many fetal and maternal factors, and it is difficult to maintain the reproducibility of the measured …

Discordant congenital heart defects in monochorionic twins: Risk factors and proposed pathophysiology Open
A six-fold increase in congenital heart defects (CHD) exists among monochorionic (MC) twins compared to singleton or dichorionic twin pregnancies. Though MC twins share an identical genotype, discordant phenotypes related to CHD and other …

Supplementary Material for: Assessment of the Size and Shape of the 4-Chamber View and the Right and Left Ventricles using Fetal Speckle Tracking in Normal Fetuses at 17-24 Gestational Weeks Open
Introduction: The aim of the study was to establish normal reference values obtained by fetal speckle tracking analysis of the fetal heart between 17-24 weeks of gestation among Thai fetuses and compare the nomograms with previous studies.…

Hand Hygiene Perception and Handshaking Practices among Pediatric Inpatient Caregivers Open
Background: Direct or indirect hand contact plays a significant role in health-care-associated infections. Family members of pediatric patients may have various hand hygiene practices. We aimed to evaluate the perceptions of hand hygiene a…

P01.10: Right‐to‐left ventricular disproportion of the fetal heart: a marker for D‐transposition of the great arteries Open
Fetuses with D-transposition of the great arteries (TGA) have been reported to have a “normal” 4 chamber view (4CV) of the heart, therefore making it difficult to recognise at risk fetuses using the screening 4CV. This study was done to ev…

OP10.06: Comprehensive analysis of the four chamber view identifies 100% of fetuses with coarctation of the aorta Open
To determine if fetal echo measurements of the size and shape of the 4 chamber heart (4CV), or the size, shape and function of the right and left ventricles (RV, LV) can successfully discriminate fetuses with true coarctation of the aorta …

OC13.05: Aortic coarctation: a comprehensive biomechanical analysis of shape, size and function of the fetal heart Open
We examined the four-chamber view (4CV) and right (RV) and left (LV) ventricles using 181 measurements to evaluate the shape, size, and function of the right (RV) and left (LV) ventricles of the heart in fetuses with coarctation of the aor…

How to determine the percentage of study subjects < 5<sup>th</sup> or > 95<sup>th</sup> centile using the control group when only the mean and standard deviation are provided Open
If a diagnostic test has a significant P-value when comparing a control group with a study group (for example, myocardial performance index, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion or global sphericity index (GSI)), then clinicians inte…
