In the modern world, cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for both men and
women. Epidemiologic studies consistently have suggested an association between low …

Placental insufficiency is associated with reduced oxygen and nutrient supply to the fetus,
which may result in fetal growth restriction (FGR). In an attempt to cope with the hostile …

Objectives Intrauterine growth restriction is associated with increased cardiovascular risk
later in life but the link between fetal disease and postnatal risk is not well‐documented. We …

Objective Among late‐onset small fetuses, a combination of estimated fetal weight (EFW),
cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) and mean uterine artery (UtA) pulsatility index (PI) can predict …

Objective To evaluate the effect of fetal growth restriction (FGR) at term on fetal and neonatal
cardiac geometry and function. Methods This was a prospective study of 87 pregnant …

Objective Intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) fetuses experience cardiovascular
remodeling that persists into infancy and has been related to cardiovascular outcomes in …

Objective To compare the fetal cardiac morphology and functions of early‐onset fetal growth
restriction (EO‐FGR) and late‐onset fetal growth restriction (LO‐FGR) groups with …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare a new technique that measures the
midventricular basal‐apical longitudinal diastolic and systolic lengths, computes the …

Objective To investigate cardiac function from 14 weeks' gestation in fetuses of obese
pregnant women (FOW). Animal studies have shown that maternal obesity induces fibrosis …

Introduction: Fetal heart evaluation with US is feasible and reproducible, although
challenging due to the smallness of the heart, the high heart rate and limited access to the …
