ABSTRACT

Early and prompt comprehensive prevention and treatment of fetal congenital heart disease (CHD) has become an international consensus and trend, with the aim of improving its prenatal detection rate, diagnostic accuracy, and the overall pregnancy outcome. Prenatal and postnatal integrated management of fetal CHD has been shown to be clinically effective in the prevention and treatment of CHD, which consists of early and accurate diagnosis, identification of structure-related multi-dimensional etiology, standardized consultation, primary prevention for the next fetus, and postnatal management. This review summarizes the current status, challenge, and future trend of implementing prenatal and postnatal integrated management of fetal CHD in China.
