Evaluation of first‐trimester ultrasound screening strategy for fetal congenital heart disease
Ultrasound screening for fetal CHD in the first trimester of pregnancy enables earlier prenatal diagnosis and consultation. The standardized ultrasound screening strategy used in this study had a high detection rate for fetal CHD in the first trimester. Our proposed fetal heart screening strategy shows promising effectiveness for early diagnosis of CHD and we recommend its use. It is important to note, however, that first-trimester ultrasound screening for fetal CHD should not replace fetal echocardiography in the second trimester. © 2025 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
