Abstract

The 2DSS cardiogram in various planes of the human fetal heart (FH) in 42 fetuses of midgestation in utero were observed by two-dimensional echocardiographic real-time imaging system (ATL MK 300 with 3.5-MHz Transducer) from April 1983 to September 1984. An autopsy of these fetuses were done within 48 hours of induced abortion. Normal development of FH and detection of cardiovascular malformations by 2DSS Echocardiogram (2D echo), and comparison with findings by autopsy of FH in midgestation, could be studied. The data was collected on videotape and analyzed statistically with a PC-1500 computer.
