Fetal short axis view at the level of the ventricles:

• Sweeping from apex to the mid-portion of the ventricles

• Note triangular shape of the right ventricle (right ventricular outflow tract seen at the end of the clip) and ellipsod shape of the left ventricle

• Anterior right and posterior left ventricle ((fetal chest (anterior), spine (posterior))

• Left ventricle has two two papillary muscles and right ventricle has one papillary muscle in the center

• Normal biventricular systolic function

Fetal short axis view at the level of the mid-portion of the ventricles (at the level of the atrioventricular valves):

• Superior/anterior ventricle (right ventricle) has one papillary muscle

• Inferior/posterior ventricle (left ventricle) has two papillary muscles

• Anterior and posterior mitral valve leaflets with normal mobility

• Normal biventricular systolic function

• Triangular shape of the right ventricle and ellipsoid shape of the left ventricle

• No obvious defects along the visualized part of the ventricular septum

Fetal short axis view at the level of the mid-portion of the ventricles (at the level of the atrioventricular valves):

• Superior/anterior ventricle (right ventricle) has one papillary muscle

• Inferior/posterior ventricle (left ventricle) has two papillary muscles

• Anterior and posterior mitral valve leaflets with normal mobility

• No obvious cleft in the mitral valve anterior leaflet (should be confirmed by color imaging, but minor valve abnormalities can be missed by fetal echocardiogram)

• Normal biventricular systolic function

• Triangular shape of the right ventricle and ellipsoid shape of the left ventricle

• No obvious defects along the visualized part of the ventricular septum

• Visualization of the aortic arch from its central origin to the level of the diaphragm
• Note the echolucency of the diaphragm
