AB  - Fetal  echocardiography  was  introduced  to  clinical  medicine  in  the  early  1980s  when  the  first  studies  reported  its  use  for  evaluation  of  cardiac  arrhythmias  as  well  as  basic  cardiac  anatomy  using  M-mode,  M-mode-directed  real-time,  and  real-time  ultrasound.1-29  Although  the  prenatal  diagnosis  of  congenital  heart  defects  was  the  goal,  a  logical  approach  to  the  problem  was  not  available  until  investigators  in  1985  suggested  the  concept  of  using  the  four-chamber  view  as  an  initial  screening  tool  to  detect  fetuses  at  risk  for  structural  malformations.30-36  After  DeVore  et  al  introduced  the  inclusion  of  color  Doppler  in  the  screening  protocol  to  improve  detection  of  congenital  heart  defects,  other  investigators  reported  similar  results.32,37-44  While  using  the  four-chamber  view  to  screen  for  congenital  heart  disease  seemed  promising,  it  met  with  varied  success.1,32,45-49  One  of  the  main  reasons  was  that  not  all  major  heart  defects  altered  the  size,  shape,  or  anatomy  of  the  structures  identified  in  the  four-chamber  view.47
