Abstract
Fetal echocardiography leads to the development of antenatal diagnosis [1]. In antenatal cardiology, proofs of evolution of congenital defect have been made: serial scans performed on fetuses with aortic valve disease demonstrated poor evolution of the left ventricle in some cases, leading to the concept of evolving hypoplastic left heart syndrome [2–4].
