[Fetal diagnosis and prognosis of Ebstein's anomaly].

Background: Currently fetal echocardiography may confirm the diagnosis in utero of Ebstein anomaly, as well as determine the perinatal outcome with high certainty.

Objective: To review 16 cases diagnosed with Ebstein anomaly, by fetal echocardiography, analyzing prognostic echocardiographic parameters set by Pavlova and colleagues.

Material And Method: A descriptive, observational, retrospective study was done in patients with fetal diagnosis of Ebstein anomaly, during January 2001 to December 2011.

[Clinical guide practice. Patent ductus arteriosus].

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the most common congenital heart disease in Mexico. The clinical manifestations of the PCA are from asymptomatic patients to the presence of heart failure. Its management should be individualized based on clinical, hemodynamic data and presence of pulmonary hypertension.

[Fetal echocardiography efficiency. Clinical experience].

Background: Congenital heart disease diagnostic has a high diagnostic precision with fetal echocardiography. This study has been reported in populations with high risk and with a sensibility of 86 to 99% and specificity of 91 to 100%.

Objective: To know sensibility and specificity of fetal echocardiography in high-risk pregnancies, and to describe types and frequency of congenital heart disease in utero.

[Endomyocardial biopsy. Revision and experience of 176 procedures].

Endomyocardial biopsy (EB) is often used in the clinical evaluation of several cardiac disease. Hundred-seventy-six consecutive procedures were performed in 65 patients, 43 men and 22 women mean age was 29.86 +/- 11.

[Right ventricular thrombous and pulmonary artery aneurysms in Behçet's disease. Report of one case].

Unlabelled: Behçet's disease uncommon in the pediatric population. Intracardiac thrombus and bilateral pulmonary artery aneurysms are uncommon manifestations. We are reporting one case.

[Diagnostic and frequency of fetal heart disease by echocardiography in pregnancies with high-risk factors].

Background: Fetal heart diseases are increasingly frequent. These are part of birth defects and, therefore, appear in early phases of the gestation. Diagnosis or early detection of functional and structural abnormalities of the heart allows to the obstetrician and the pediatric cardiologist to plan, in a timely manner, the treatment and prenatal and postnatal monitoring with the purpose of preventing complications.
