Fetal echocardiogram aids in prenatal identification of neonates at high risk for congenital heart defects (CHD). Prenatal detection rates for CHD have increased with improved ultrasound technology, the use of the early fetal echocardiography, and standardization of the performance of the fetal echocardiogram. Accurate prenatal detection of CHD, particularly complex CHD, is an important contributor to improved survival rates for patients with CHD. Early detection allows for families to choose whether or not to continue with pregnancy, referral to pediatric cardiology specialists for patient education, and delivery planning. Better psychosocial supports are needed for families with CHD.
胎儿超声心动图有助于在产前识别先天性心脏病（CHD）高危新生儿。随着超声技术的提高、早期胎儿超声心动图的应用以及胎儿超声心动图性能的标准化，CHD 的产前检出率有所提高。CHD，尤其是复杂 CHD 的准确产前检出是提高 CHD 患者生存率的重要因素。早期发现可以让家庭选择是否继续妊娠、转介儿科心脏病专家进行患者教育和分娩计划。需要为 CHD 家庭提供更好的社会心理支持。
