Pulsed Doppler echocardiography (PDE) has proven value in the examination of the infant or child with known or suspected congenital heart disease. In order to assess how PDE might be useful in the evaluation of the infant in utero, we reviewed our experience with this technique used in combination with both cross-sectional and M-mode echocardiography. Where previous examinations had suggested some abnormality or where there was a risk factor for congenital heart disease, we performed PDE examinations on the cardiovascular system of 36 infants in utero ranging in gestational age from 20-39 weeks (mean 32 weeks). PDE of the fetal heart was found to be valuable in three areas: (1) quantitation of hemodynamics, (2) characterization of cardiac rhythm, and (3) identification of certain congenital cardiovascular structural anomalies.
脉冲多普勒超声心动图（PDE）在检查已知或疑似患有先天性心脏病的婴儿或儿童方面已被证明具有价值。为了评估PDE在评估宫内婴儿方面可能有何作用，我们回顾了将该技术与二维超声心动图和M型超声心动图联合使用的经验。在先前检查提示有某些异常或存在先天性心脏病危险因素的情况下，我们对36例胎龄为20至39周（平均32周）的宫内婴儿的心血管系统进行了PDE检查。发现胎儿心脏的PDE在三个方面具有价值：（1）血流动力学定量，（2）心律特征描述，以及（3）某些先天性心血管结构异常的识别。
