Congenital heart disease can now be accurately diagnosed in specialist units from about 18 weeks gestation. By teaching ultrasonographers to examine the four-chamber view of the heart, malformation can be suspected on a routine scan. This will allow a much greater number of pregnancies to be screened effectively for congenital heart disease.
