Fetal echocardiographic and Doppler ultrasonographic prospective studies were performed in utero on 299 babies delivered at Hirata Municipal Hospital, Shimane, Japan, from May 1984 to June 1986. Two or three ultrasonographic examinations were performed on each fetus from 20 weeks of gestation to term. Three congenital heart anomalies and 12 fetal arrhythmias were diagnosed antenatally, but 3 heart anomalies (2 small ventricular septal defects and 1 moderate pulmonary stenosis) were not detected in utero. Routine echocardiographic screening appears to be a useful diagnostic tool to detect congenital heart anomalies and fetal arrhythmia antenatally.
1984年5月至1986年6月期间，对日本岛根县平田市立医院出生的299名婴儿进行了胎儿超声心动图和多普勒超声前瞻性研究。从妊娠20周直至足月，对每个胎儿进行了两到三次超声检查。产前诊断出3例先天性心脏异常和12例胎儿心律失常，但有3例心脏异常（2例小型室间隔缺损和1例中度肺动脉狭窄）未在子宫内检测到。常规超声心动图筛查似乎是产前检测先天性心脏异常和胎儿心律失常的一种有用诊断工具。
