This CME-accredited course provides a practical and advanced approach to fetal heart assessment — from normal anatomy and function to complex congenital heart defects.

You will learn how to:
  • Systematically evaluate the fetal heart in routine and high-risk scans
  • Improve early detection using advanced 2D and 3D ultrasound techniques
  • Recognize a wide spectrum of congenital heart anomalies, including outflow tract and chamber defects
  • Apply updated diagnostic strategies used in fetal cardiology practice today

Congenital heart disease is the most common fetal malformation, and early, accurate diagnosis directly impacts neonatal outcomes. This course bridges maternal–fetal medicine and pediatric cardiology, bringing together leading experts actively managing these cases in clinical practice.

Designed for physicians and sonographers involved in prenatal diagnosis, this program will strengthen your confidence in fetal echocardiography and improve clinical decision-making in complex pregnancies.

Secure your place now and strengthen your expertise in fetal cardiac imaging!

This course will greatly benefit physicians and sonographers in the fields of obstetric imaging, fetal echocardiography and pediatric cardiology. Residents in obstetrics and gynecology, as well as fellows in maternal fetal medicine and pediatric cardiology, will also benefit greatly. It should also prove valuable to those physicians and sonographers wanting to gain a more in-depth knowledge of fetal echocardiography.
