The proposed method combining recent advances in obtaining non-invasive fetal electrocardiography with artificial intelligence for the automatic detection of CHD achieved a detection rate of 63% for all CHD and 75% for critical CHD. This feasibility study shows that detection rates of CHD might improve by using electrocardiography-based screening complementary to the standard ultrasound-based screening. More research is required to improve performance and determine the benefits to clinical practice.
