Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common congenital defect, occurring in approximately 1 in 100 live births and being a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Of note, approximately 25% of these defects are classified as critical, requiring immediate postnatal care by pediatric cardiology and neonatal cardiac surgery teams. Consequently, early and accurate diagnosis of CHD is key to proper prenatal and postnatal monitoring in a tertiary care setting.

Our primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of detailed cardiovascular ultrasound screening during the first trimester, which was performed by obstetricians with intermediate experience. We collected first-trimester fetal cardiac screening data from an unselected pregnant population at RMC-Fetal Medicine Center during a study period spanning from 1 January 2010, to 31 January 2015, in order to analyze our learning curve. A pediatric cardiologist performed a follow-up assessment in cases where the examining obstetrician determined that the fetal cardiac screening results were abnormal or high-risk.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common complication in pregnancy, representing a serious risk for the mother and fetus. Identifying new biomarkers to ameliorate the screening and improving GDM diagnosis and treatment is crucial. During the last decade, a few studies have used speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) for assessing the myocardial deformation properties of fetuses (FGDM) and infants (IGDM) of GDM women, providing not univocal results.
