Fisher's exact test showed no significant differences in the prevalence of congenital heart disease in babies with and without abnormal prenatal haemodynamic findings. Significance was considered for p<0.05.

DVnegA, ductus venosus negative A wave (absent or reversed flow during atrial contraction); MR, mitral regurgitation; TR, tricuspid regurgitation; UAEDFneg, umbilical artery end diastolic flow absent or reversed.
