The aim of the study is to evaluate the results of fetal ecocardiography of pregnancies in high and low risk groups in our clinic between June 2011 and January 2012. In the study, 351 pregnancies were taken with detailed fetal ecocardiography. Pregnancies were divided into two high and low risk groups according to the application reasons. It was studied in terms of the types and prevalence of infarctional cardiovascular diseases identified in both groups. Results: In the high risk group, the prevalence of congenital heart disease was 16.7%, and in the low risk group 5.7%. The most frequently detected infarctional heart disease is ventricular septal defect. Most of the low-risk groups of pregnancies have their own desires (36%. In the high-risk group, diabetes from maternal causes (8.9%), polyhydroamniosis/oligohydroamniosis from fetal causes (1.9%), and hereditary causes, the presence of fetal anomaly in previous pregnancy (1.2%) were first identified. Fetal ecocardiography is a useful technique in the early diagnosis of infarctional heart disease, in giving family advice and in preparing for the necessary postpartum interventions. In high risk groups pregnancies fetal ecocardiography should necessarily be performed by people with experience. However, in selected cases in the low-risk group, fetal ecocardiography is also appropriate.
