Abstract
In order to develop intrauterine cardiology in the Russian Federation, the Bakoulev National Medical Research
Center for Cardiovascular Surgery, where enormous experience has been accumulated in the diagnosis and treatment
of congenital heart defects in newborns, has been working on intrauterine diagnosis of cardiac pathology for the past
20 years. The Perinatal Cardiology Center is the only specialized perinatal center in the Russian Federation where
pregnant women with cardiac pathology in themselves and their unborn child are examined, monitored, and undergo
outpatient treatment; where expert ultrasound diagnostics is carried out not only for congenital heart defects and fetal
rhythm disorders, but also for other congenital fetal abnormalities, starting from the 12th-14th week of pregnancy.
This publication presents the annual report of the scientific and practical activities of the Perinatal Cardiology Center
for 2021.
