Fetal heart ultrasound course for screening and advanced evaluation
This fetal heart ultrasound course from Gulfcoast is designed for clinicians performing and interpreting fetal cardiac ultrasound examinations. Four lectures cover fetal cardiac anatomy and circulation, an overview of the fetal echo technique, arrhythmia evaluation, and fetal heart pathology — all based on AIUM ultrasound practice guidelines. The program uses PowerPoint slides, still-frame images, cine clips, and case presentations to demonstrate scan techniques for obtaining the four-chamber view, outflow tracts, and the three-vessel trachea view.

Inside this resource
Fetal cardiac anatomy and heart screening protocol
The opening session covers fetal cardiac anatomy and circulation patterns, establishing the anatomic landmarks needed for a complete heart screening examination. Scan techniques for obtaining the four-chamber view, outflow tracts, and three-vessel trachea view are demonstrated with cine clip examples.
Fetal echo overview and Doppler fundamentals
An overview of the fetal echo examination introduces standard Doppler sample sites and normal spectral waveform characteristics. Basic Doppler fundamentals are woven into the session so clinicians can incorporate spectral Doppler assessment into their fetal heart screening workflow.
Arrhythmia evaluation and fetal heart pathology
A dedicated session covers normal fetal heart rate rhythm and commonly seen arrhythmias with spectral Doppler examples. The final lecture addresses fetal heart pathology through multiple case presentations — each paired with the ultrasound characteristics that define the underlying condition.
Who this serves
- Sonographers — develop competency in fetal heart screening techniques and Doppler waveform acquisition
- OB-GYN physicians — strengthen fetal echo interpretation and arrhythmia recognition skills
- Radiologists and emergency physicians — build the foundational knowledge for evaluating fetal cardiac findings

Marcus J. –
Solid fetal echo introduction built on AIUM guidelines. The Doppler fundamentals integrated into the echo overview session are well-explained for beginners.
Daniel K. –
Good overview of fetal cardiac scanning. The arrhythmia evaluation session helped me recognize patterns I was missing in my scans. At 1.68 GB, the download was quick.
Natalie F. –
The case presentations in the fetal heart pathology lecture are outstanding. Real pathology examples with corresponding ultrasound findings made the learning stick.
Fatima R. –
Four focused lectures that cover the essentials without fluff. The cine clip examples of the four-chamber and outflow tract views are especially instructive.
Wei L. –
Content is accurate and well-presented but with only four lectures the scope is limited. Would have appreciated more advanced pathology cases.
