Risk Stratification of Fetal Cardiac Anomalies in an Underserved Population Using Telecardiology.

CONCLUSIONS: Neither diagnostic quality nor patient satisfaction were sacrificed with telecardiology. The program was feasible, empowered the local health care providers and ultrasonographers, offered strong economic advantages to families, and offered the benefit of timely standard-of-care, face-to-face consultation without travel. Based on the success of this program, further studies are warranted to assess its replicability.
