To the Editor:

With the advent of new technologies, techniques that are innocuous for the diagnosis of different diseases are becoming more and more important. The detection of congenital heart defects during the prenatal period is of crucial importance for the life quality of both mother and child.
Fetal echocardiography is a non-invasive study performed through abdominal ultrasound, besides the equipment of last technological generation allows the evaluation of the fetal heart from the first trimester of gestation1 on. This method represents the main tool for the diagnosis and detailed evaluation of the fetal cardiovascular system, and it is useful –for this purpose– from the end of the first trimester until the end of pregnancy.
