Abstract:
106 cases of fetal heart was examinated by M-mode Cross-sectional and Pulsed Doppler echocardiography from 1987. 1～1988. 4. The gestational age was 16～ 40 weeks. We found some features in these cases:(1)The right heat was bigger than the left heart; (2)The aorta was the same as that pulmonary artery; (3) The atriums, ventricles and the great vessels enlarged with gestational age; (4) The tricuspid velocity was faster than the mitral velocity but the puhmonary velocity was slower than the aortic veloci- ty ; (5)The size of the foramen ovale was 3～5mm.Finally, the authors suggest that in order to find some congenital heart malformations and manage these cases as early as posible ultrasonic routine examination should be performed in the mid period of pregnancy, particularly at high risk obstetric clinic. The method was also discussed.
