Success rate of abdominal B-ultrasound in detecting various sections of heart at different gestational weeks (n, %).

13–27 weeks was the second trimester. Compared with the 14th week and the 10th week, the difference in the success rate of displaying four-cavity tangential plane was statistically significant (X2 = 6.78; P = 0.009). Compared with the 14th week and 10th week, the difference in the success rate of left ventricular outflow tract section display was statistically significant (X2 = 41.03; P = 0). Compared with the 14th week and 10th week, the difference of success rate in right ventricular outflow tract section is statistically significant (X2 = 38.83; P = 0).
