“…It is among the most common heart defects, with an estimated incidence of 0.16 to 0.36 per 1000 live births, accounting for 4.8% to 9% of CHDs. 56 The first description dates back to 1851 when von Bardeleben in 1851 described a severely ill newborn who died 27 weeks after birth from progressive heart failure. Postmortem examination revealed extremely diminished left heart structures and an atretic (obliterated) ascending aorta.…”

“…On the other hand, there are variants of HLH characterized by different degrees of left heart obstruction with mitral atresia, a ventricular septal defect and a patent aortic valve or those with aortic valve atresia. 56,61 Recently, Crucean and colleagues described three distinct subgroups relying on the morphological appearance: (I) a slit-like LV (24%); (II) a miniaturized LV (6%); and (III) a thickened LV with endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE; 70%). Interestingly, only the slit-like ventricle grouping was found to map to the current nomenclature: the combination of mitral atresia with aortic atresia.…”

Volume ultrasound has been shown to provide valid complementary information on fetal anatomy. Four‐dimensional assessment (4D) of the fetal cardiovascular system using spatial–temporal image correlation (STIC) allows for detailed examination of a highly complex organ from the early second trimester onward. There is compelling evidence that this technique harbors quite a number of diagnostic opportunities, but manual navigation through STIC volume datasets is highly operator dependent. In fact, STIC is not incorporated yet into daily practice. Application of the novel fetal intelligent navigation echocardiography (FINE) considerably simplifies fetal cardiac volumetric examinations. This automatic technique applied on cardiac volume datasets reportedly has both high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of congenital heart defects (CHDs). Part I reviewed current data regarding detection rates of CHDs and illustrated the additional value of an automatic approach in delineating cardiac anatomy exemplified by congenital lesions of the right heart. In part II of this pictorial essay, we focused on left heart anomalies and aimed to tabulate recent findings on the quantification of normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy.
