For fetal cardiac function, less experienced users benefit from two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography analysis with fetalHQ®. Due to its complexity, this state-of-the-art method is less suitable for implementation into clinical practice 'on-the-fly'. Its application remains the domain of scientific-academic ultrasound perinatal diagnostics and should be placed preferably in the hands of experts.
