Objective To investigate the differences in cardiac function and arterial biophysical
properties between term-born appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants and small for …

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to evaluate cardiovascular function in children
who were small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetuses. STUDY DESIGN: This was a prospective …

OBJECTIVES: We have previously reported an increased cardiac workload in newborn
preterm small (SGA) infants, but not in infants appropriate for gestational age (AGA). We …

Objective: To assess arterial morphology and mechanics in preterm infants with fetal growth
restriction (FGR) compared with those appropriate for gestational age (AGA) in the early …

Background: Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) children have increased cardiovascular risk,
but the mediating factors are poorly understood. We hypothesized that birth size could affect …

Aim To compare strain indices between small for gestational age (SGA) infants and
asymptomatic appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants and to ascertain correlations …

Background—It has been suggested that an adverse fetal environment increases
susceptibility to hypertension and cardiovascular disease in adult life. This increased risk …

Background: Small for gestational age neonates with prenatal hemodynamic disturbances
are at increased risk for neonatal morbidity. Investigations of fetal cardiac function have …

The objective was to elucidate hemodynamic adaptation in very low birth weight (< 1500 g)
infants after intrauterine growth retardation. 31 growth-retarded (SGA, birth weight<-2 SD) …

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 …
