Right ventricular systolic pressure tricuspid regurgitation gra= ddient right atrial pressure mmHg,+=+=46 10 56
Pulmonary arterial systolic pressure Right ventricular systolic= ppressure Pulmonary stenosis gradient mmHg. =−=56 34 22
Diagnosis
The patient was diagnosed with Ebstein’s anomaly with severe tricuspid regurgitation and mild valvular pulmonary stenosis.
Comment
The patient was asymptomatic and had mild right ventricular systolic dysfunction, no atrial arrhythmia, and very good growth at puberty. Consequently, prophylaxis for infective endocarditis and follow-up were recommended.
Lesson
Valvular pulmonary stenosis is an occasional finding with Ebstein’s anomaly [ 2 , 146 , 149 , 150 ]. Despite mod­erate septal displacement ratio, tricuspid regurgitation is severe.
It is of notice that in the presence of pulmonary stenosis,
tricuspid regurgitation gradient is only a representative of right ventricular systolic pressure. Systolic pulmonary arte­rial pressure is measured as follows:

A 34-year-old pregnant woman (gravida 2, para 1) was referred to our echocardiography laboratory for fetal heart echocardiography. She had no history of congenital heart disease either in herself or in her family, and her previous
child was normal. A previous sonographic examination had demonstrated nothing abnormal, but lab screen tests were suggestive of spina bifi da.

Diagnosis
The patient was diagnosed with an atrioventricular septal defect, common atrium, and mitral valve cleft.
Comment
Because there is a 24–35 % association between the atrio­ventricular septal defect and Down’s syndrome, the patient was referred for was amniocentesis [ 2 , 152 , 153 ].
Lesson:
Not all atrioventricular septal defects are associated with Down’s syndrome. Therefore, if the fetus is genetically nor­mal, the atrioventricular septal defect is a curable disease.

Diagnosis
There was a normal structural fetal heart echocardiography.
Lesson
Fetal Circulation
In the fetus, there is a dominancy of the right atrium and the right ventricle. The right system is slightly larger than the left system. However, as the gestational age increases, this dominancy decreases.
The left system takes about 30–35 % of the blood circu­lation, while the right system receives about 60–65 % of the blood circulation. From the 35–40 % of the fl ow that the left system receives, 8–10 % is from the pulmonary veins. In the fetus, the lungs are inactive and do not participate in
ventilation, so the pulmonary circulation receives only 8–10 % of the fetal circulation.
The remaining 20–25 % of the blood fl ow that enters the left system passes via the foramen ovale. In the fetus, the interatrial septum has a defect which is about one third of the total size of the interatrial septum. There is a membrane in the orifi ce of this defect in the left atrium which is named the Vieussens membrane. The orientation of the fl ow in the fetal circulation is designed in a manner that the fl ow of the inferior vena cava, which is oxygenated, passes through the defect of the interatrial septum and enters the left atrium, left ventricle, and aorta. About 5 % of the fl ow of the left system goes toward the coronary arteries, 20–25 % to the branches of the aortic arch, and 5–10 % to the isthmus.

Consequently, the oxygenated blood enters the coronary arteries and arch branches which supply the brain and the upper extremities.
From 60 % to 65 % of the blood fl ow which enters the right ventricle and then the pulmonary artery, 8–10 % goes toward the lungs, and 50 % passes via the ductus arteriosus toward the descending aorta. This is the reason why that duct and the aortic arch receive nearly equal amounts of blood (the duct about 50 % and the arch about 35 %) and so are nearly equal in size.
Regarding the lungs, which are inactive in ventilation, the pulmonary vascular resistance is high and is nearly equal to the systemic vascular resistance. After birth with the fi rst cry, the lungs become open and fi lled with air. The pulmonary vascular resistance reduces suddenly to one third of its initial value, and the O
2
saturation of the neonate rises. (The O 2
saturation of the fetus is about 75 %.) Within the fi rst 24 h, the pulmonary vascular resistance decreases up to one half of the systemic vascular resistance [ 101 , 152 ].
The increased O
2
saturation causes more vasoconstriction in the systemic circulation and vasodilator effect in the pul­monary circulation. As a result, the systemic vascular resis­tance rises and the pulmonary vascular resistance falls spontaneously; this will continue until 3 months after birth.
The cells of the ductus arteriosus are like the systemic circulation cells, so they show a vasoconstrictive response to increased O
2
saturation and diminished prostaglandins after birth. The ductus arteriosus will be closed within the fi rst hours after birth. The increased systemic vascular resistance and pressure prohibits the passage of the fl ow through the foramen ovale, and so the foramen ovale will functionally be closed within the fi rst hours until anatomic closure occurs.
