Cardiovascular Profile Score (CVPS)(17, 18)

	Normal (2 points)	−1 point	−2 points
Hydrops Fetalis	None	Ascites, pleural effusion, or pericardial effusion	Skin edema
Abnormal Venous Doppler	Normal venous Doppler	Ductus venosus atrial systolic reversal	Umbilical venous pulsations
Cardiomegaly (CT ratio= cardiac area/thoracic area)	CT ratio ≤ 0.35	CT ratio >0.35 & <0.50	CT ratio >0.50
Abnormal myocardial function	Ventricular SF >0.28 & no valve regurgitation	SF <0.28 or TR or semilunar valve regurgitation	TR + dysfunction or any MR
