Do Not Miss The Diagnosis of a Normal Cardiac Axis in Early Gestation

5 Top Anatomic Regions

• Normal left atrium: rule out TAPVR, Isomerism, Interrupted IVC

• Normal ascending aorta: rule out TOF, TGA, DORV • Normal 3VT view: rule out conotruncal anomalies,

RAA, HLHS, coarctation of Ao • Normal cardiac axis in early gestation: rule out

major CHD in first trimester
