Supplement your learning on The ISUOG Fetal Cardiology Conference 2026

Join us for this engaging and informative course. Together with a panel of expert speakers from around the world, they will dive into the most challenging and evolving aspects of fetal cardiology. This course offers attendees a valuable opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the new advances in this area and learn how to apply them in practical situations.

Learning Objectives:

  • Apply ISUOG guidelines and optimise imaging techniques for effective fetal cardiac screening and diagnosis. 
  • Interpret genetic and structural findings relevant to congenital heart disease, including conotruncal, ventricular, and atrioventricular anomalies. 
  • Recognise and evaluate venous return, aortic arch, and valve abnormalities across all gestational stages. 
  • Identify and assess fetal cardiac rhythm disturbances using practical scanning and Doppler methods. 
  • Integrate case-based discussions and multidisciplinary perspectives to enhance diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making. 
  • Communicate complex cardiac findings effectively, providing informed counselling and supporting parents in understanding prognosis and management options.
