Abstract
Measurements of fetal atrial size, shape, and contractility have been previously reported using the TomTec fetal heart speckle tracking analysis software, which currently is no longer available in the marketplace. At the present time, the only software available for speckle-tracking analysis of the fetal heart is fetalHQ, which analyzes the fetal heart ventricles using the same algorithms as the TomTec software used for speckle-tracking analysis. This communication will review how to use the fetalHQ software to measure the size, shape, and contractility of the atrial chambers.
