AB Key  TermsCardiovascular  profile  score:  a  semiquantitative  score  of  the  fetal  cardiac  well-being  that  uses  known  markers  by  ultrasound  that  have  been  correlated  with  poor  fetal  outcome.  The  5  categories  are  hydrops,  venous  and  arterial  Doppler,  heart  size,  and  abnormal  myocardial  function.Congenital  heart  disease:  heart  defects  that  have  their  origin  during  cardiac  development  from  4  to  8  weeks’  gestation  (conceptual  age)  and  present  after  birth.Doppler  echocardiography:  a  technique  of  physiology  assessment  in  the  fetus  guided  by  ultrasonic  imaging.  The  blood  velocity  at  a  selected  site  in  the  fetal  circulation  is  sampled  and  displayed  using  color  or  velocity  (pulsed  Doppler  sonography)  display.  Continuous  wave  Doppler  sonography  is  used  to  assess  high  velocity  jets  in  the  fetal  circulation  such  as  tricuspid  valve  regurgitation.Dysrhythmia:  any  rhythm  of  the  fetal  heart  that  is  abnormal  and  not  associated  with  a  regular  atrial  contraction  followed  by  a  ventricular  contraction  each  cardiac  cycle.Fetal  congestive  heart  failure:  a  state  of  inadequate  tissue  perfusion  in  the  fetal  circulation.  It  manifests  by  reflexes  triggered  by  sensors  of  cardiac  flow  in  the  fetal  circulation  and  vital  organs.Fetal  echocardiography:  a  detailed  ultrasonic  examination  of  the  fetal  cardiac  anatomy  and  physiology  involving  assessment  of  the  extracardiac  vessels,  including  the  peripheral  arteries  and  veins.  This  is  a  test  for  definitive  diagnosis  of  congenital  heart  disease  and  congestive  heart  failure  in  the  fetus.Fetal  heart  screening:  a  brief  sonographic  examination  of  the  fetal  heart,  including  4-chamber  view  (“basic”)  and  outflow  tracts  (“extended  basic”)  assessment.
