fetal septum involves the Correct Answers ventricular septum
A fetal sustained heart rate of 100 bpm or less is termed Correct
Answers Bradyarrhythmias

is labeled Correct Answers Dextrocardia
A long axis view of what demonstrates the LVOT Correct
Answers The aorta
A long axis view of which artery demonstrates the RVOT
