PG - 278-281 LID - 10.1007/s12519-017-0009-6 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Fetal echocardiography (FECG) is a key screening tool for prenatal cardiac abnormalities. Herein, we examined the ultrasonic factors determining prenatal ultrasonic diagnosis of isolated ventricular septal defect (IVSD). METHODS: The diagnostic role of ultrasonic factors was investigated in patients in middle or late pregnancy, diagnosed with IVSD by FECG and confirmed using postnatal echocardiography. RESULTS: One hundred and six patients with IVSD were enrolled; the majority had perimembranous VSD. The combined imaging mode of 2 dimentional-echocardiography (2DE) and color doppler flow imaging (CDFI) showed the highest rate (56.6%) of IVSD detection, while CDFIwas more efficient than 2DE (32.1% vs. 11.3%). The single-view mode was more efficient than multiple-view mode (75.5% vs. 24.5%). The highest efficient mode to detect IVSD was achieved using combined imaging mode on the single view of the left ventricular outflow tract view (LVOTV) (28.3%). FECG correctly classified 71.7% of fetal IVSD. There was a significant difference of accuracy rate in classifying IVSD among the three different imaging modes (chi (2)=7.141, P<0.05). The single imaging mode of CDFIand the mode of CDFIcombined with 2DE correctly classified 75.9% and 75.0% of fetal IVSD, respectively. LVOTV was the most accurate view of fetal IVSD classification (85.2%; chi (2)=15.782, P<0.05). There was no difference in accuracies of IVSD classification among multiple-view modes (chi (2)=2.343, P>0.05) or between single-view mode and multiple-view mode (chi (2)=0.32, P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Single LVOTV in CDFIor CDFIcombined with 2DE of FECG were the most effective diagnostic modes for fetal IVSD diagnosis.
