Fetal cardiac examination can affect patients’ preference on invasive tests: A new data on maternal anxiety indicated karyotyping

Conclusions: This is the first study evaluating the power of early fetal cardiac examination findings on fetal aneuploidies. This study suggested that the application of fetal cardiac examination findings to genetic counseling for screening aneuploidies may be efficient on patients’ preference about invasive tests. Due to the small number of abnormal findings and karyotypes detected (not the large study group), further studies on large study groups are needed to confirm these results.
