Part 1 Fetal Cardiac Morphology: Understanding the Four Chambers and Normal Markers

0% Complete

Course Overview

This course is designed to help students understand the structure of the fetal heart, with a particular focus on its four chambers. Students will learn to identify key markers that indicate normal growth in these chambers. By working with sonographic images, they will develop the skills to evaluate standard heart development patterns and measurements. Additionally, the course will enable students to differentiate between normal heart features and signs that might suggest abnormalities.
