Art, many thaks for your comment. I agree very much with you stating that the color setting is important. In this clip an apical four chamber view is shown which is notorious to be suboptimal for the visualization of the septa because of insufficient lateral resolution. A lateral four chamber view would be much more convincing to demontrate the septal defects. On the other hand, in this case the PRF (i.e. color scale) was set quite high (64 cm/s) for the gestational age in order to avoid overflow of color which could give very likely a false septal defect image. In the b/w videoclip - shown on the clip 14 weeks (1.31 mb) which you can download here http://www.obgyn.net/us/us.asp?page=/us/present/1004/moroder_canal_wmp - of the heart of the same fetus taken 3 weeks before, the asymmetric canal was already clearly evident. This is at present an ongoing pregnancy and I fear that this will develop into a HLHS (Hypoplastic left heart). I will let you know further information on the development of this case. Best regards Wolfgang PS. I regret that there is an old invalid mail address on this case. My new address is wolfgang.moroder@tin.it

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
