Ultrasound Examination in 1st Trimester Congenital Heart Disease
Ultrasound Examination in 1st Trimester Congenital Heart Disease
(G.R.Devore, 1992)
Four-chamber Two equally sized ventricles and atria; offset mitral and tricus- pid valves; ventricular
septum intact up to the cardiac crux
History and Five-chamber Two equally sized ventricles and atria; discrete circular aortic cross section in center of
heart
progression FEC Aortic arch Longitudinal arch view with at least one carotid, brachiocephalic or subclavian branch
clearly arising from the vessel
in 1st trimester Short axis aorta Discrete circular echo representing the aortic root visualized within the center of the heart
Short axis ventricles Isolated right and left ventricular cavities in cross section with
defined interventricular septum
Long axis left ventricle Defined continuity from interventricular septum through the
Kriteria visualisasi aortic root in longitudinal (parasagittal) section; mitral leaflet
approximated to contralateral aortic wall

Congenital Heart Disease in
First Trimester
Three-vessel- trachea view in color Doppler 1. Discrepant great vessel size with forward flow in the small
vessel in TOF,
2. Coarctation of the aorta,
3. Tricuspid atresia with VSD
4. Discrepant great vessel size with reversed flow in the small
vessel in HLHS, HRHS, PA with VSD
5. Single large great vessel in CAT, PA with VSD
6. Single great vessel of normal size in TGA or DORV
7. Interrupted aortic isthmus in interrupted aortic arch
8. Aortic arch right-sided to the trachea in right- sided aortic
arch with left ductus arteriosus

Keuntungan dan kekurangan
pemeriksaan 1st trimester
• Reduced invasive examinations (> 35 years)
• Possibility 1st trimester invasive testing
• Perform chorionic villi sampling in the
earlier trimester than second trimester
amniocentesis because it is safer
• Termination of the first trimester of an
abnormal pregnancy
• Reduce anxiety
