The Two Hearts Beat Study: Determining the benefits and barriers of echocardiographic screening in pregnancy for Indigenous women in the Top End of the Northern Territory

“两颗心跳动”项目是一项利用技术和多学科护理改善生活在北领地顶端的土著孕妇健康状况的新研究。在这项研究中，心脏超声扫描将被纳入标准的产前护理。该扫描将筛查RHD和其他可能影响妊娠的心脏疾病，从而确定该人群中RHD的发病率。将确定该计划的可接受性、成本和影响。

The Two Hearts Beat project is a novel study utilising technology and multi-disciplinary care to improve health outcomes for Indigenous pregnant women living in the Top End of the Northern Territory. In this study a heart ultrasound scan will be integrated into standard antenatal care. The scan will screen for RHD and other heart disease that may impact the pregnancy, determining the rates of RHD in this population. The acceptability, cost and impact of this initiative will be determined.
