The usefulness of color Doppler in echocardiographic screening of fetal ventricular septal defects.

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular; D006345

• Registration Number: JPRN-jRCT1062220041
• Lead Sponsor: Masumoto Akio

Brief Summary

The use of color Doppler in screening for fetal ventricular septal defects is relatively simple and apparently useful for increasing the detection rate. However, further investigation is required to determine whether the introduction of color Doppler contributes to improving the prognosis of infants.
