In this webinar, Prof. Hisham Mirghani Mubarak discusses the clinical value of the four chamber view in fetal heart screening. As a cornerstone of the basic prenatal ultrasound, the four chamber view plays a critical role in detecting congenital heart defects and assessing cardiac anatomy early in pregnancy.
The presentation covers:
- The optimal timing and angle to acquire accurate four chamber images
- Differentiating between a normal versus abnormal cardiac structure
- Key indicators of cardiac anomalies such as echogenic intracardiac focus, chamber asymmetry, and axis deviation
- Case examples of structural defects like hypoplastic left heart syndrome, atrioventricular septal defects, and ventricular enlargement
- Limitations of the four chamber view alone and the complementary role of fetal echocardiography
Prof. Mirghani emphasizes the importance of a systematic approach and attention to small but meaningful signs, which can signal more serious conditions. He also discusses the practical aspects of screening in low-resource settings and when to refer for detailed fetal echocardiography.
This webinar is ideal for sonographers, OB/GYNs, and clinicians involved in prenatal ultrasound and early fetal cardiac evaluation.
