Impact of prenatal haemodynamic and functional abnormalities in Ebstein's anomaly on survival.

Predicting outcomes of foetuses with Ebstein's anomaly and tricuspid valve dysplasia continues to be challenging. Limited data exist on the prognostic significance of prenatal haemodynamic and functional parameters in this population. Our aim was to investigate the prognostic significance of haemodynamic and ventricular functional parameters in addition to associated morphometric parameters in patients with Ebstein's anomaly.

Evaluation of prenatal risk factors for prediction of outcome in right heart lesions: CVP score in fetal right heart defects.

Objective: To determine the prenatal variables predicting the risk of perinatal death in congenital right heart defects.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 28 fetuses with right heart defects was performed. Logistic regression analyses were performed to obtain odds ratios (OR) for the relationship between the risk of death and echocardiographic parameters.
