Cardiac axis in fetuses with abdominal wall defects

Cardiac axis in fetuses with abdominal wall defects

Objectives To investigate whether fetal cardiac axis is affected by the presence of an abdominal wall defect (AWD) independent of congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods Video ultrasound records from fetuses with AWDs identified from 1991–2004 were reviewed. Still images of the fetal cardiac four‐ch...

Zusammenfassung:Objectives To investigate whether fetal cardiac axis is affected by the presence of an abdominal wall defect (AWD) independent of congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods Video ultrasound records from fetuses with AWDs identified from 1991–2004 were reviewed. Still images of the fetal cardiac four‐chamber view were digitized and two independent examiners measured the cardiac axis. A cardiac axis of >65° or
