Background Fetal growth restriction (FGR), defined as an estimated fetal weight (EFW)< 10th
percentile, is associated with an increased risk for adverse fetal and neonatal outcome …

Background Due to metabolic changes in the second trimester and the increasing number of
pregnant women with obesity and advanced maternal age, the incidence of gestational …

Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is an emerging imaging modality
for assessing the anatomy and function of the fetal heart in congenital heart disease (CHD) …

Objectives Two‐dimensional speckle‐tracking echocardiography (2D‐STE) is a promising
