Simplified first-trimester fetal cardiac screening (four chamber view and ventricular outflow tracts) in a low-risk population [PDF]
Objectives Our aim was to assess the accuracy of a simplified fetal cardiac study, inclusive of four-chamber view (4CV) and ventricular outflow tracts, performed during the 11–14 week screening by well-trained obstetricians to detect congenital heart ...

First-trimester ductus venosus Doppler velocimetry for estimation of risk of Down syndrome [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the application of ductus venosus Doppler velocimetry between 10--14 weeks gestation may serve as a screening tool for the detection of fetuses with Down syndrome and estimate a new criteria of risk.
