Abstract
- Determination of dextroposition, when a fetus' heart is on the right side of its chest, is important and routine echocardiograms should be done to identify this problem. When a fetus' heart is on the right side of its chest, there are usually other abnormalities present. In examining 2,882 echocardiograms done over a period of six years, 297 had abnormalities. Of these, 14 had dextroposition, more than half of which included abnormal development of organs.
