The study of 30,000 babies born in the Danish capital in 2016-18 to detect congenital and inherited heart disease not diagnosed before birth and note the prevalence of such conditions.
It also aimed to to assess the effectiveness of routine echocardiography scans shortly after birth and to establish reference values for echocardiography in Danish unborn babies.
Researchers will follow up with other tests later in life to study associations between both pre- and postnatal exposure and disease, including lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors.

Princess Mary's latest public engagements comes after Danish royal experts predicted she may become Queen of Denmark by the end of the year.
Insiders claimed to Swedish magazine Svensk Damtiding that reigning Queen Margrethe II may soon abdicate in favour of her son, Mary's husband Crown Prince Frederik.
They claimed the 76-year-old monarch missed her husband Prince Heinrik, 82, who retired to his country house in France a year ago, and may give up her crown to reunite with him.
She had earlier planned to stay queen much longer to give Mary and Frederik as much time with their four young children as possible before assuming greater royal duties.
