Fetal echocardiography was initially used to detect structural anomalies but has more
recently also been proposed to assess fetal cardiac function. This review summarizes …

Various approaches to 2‐dimensional speckle tracking have been used to evaluate left
ventricular function and deformation in the fetus, child, and adult. In 2015, because of …

Objective To compare the ability of two different methods for longitudinal annular motion
measurement, M‐mode and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), to demonstrate cardiac …

Objectives Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography has been considered an
angle-independent modality. However, current literature is limited and inconclusive on the …

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

Establishment of the maturational patterns of the fetal left and right ventricle strain and strain
rate by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography is a prerequisite for its routine …

Objective Experimental evidence suggests that changes in the fetal myocardium result from
intrauterine effects of maternal diabetes mellitus and obesity. The aim of this study was to …

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 …

Functional cardiovascular assessment is becoming an increasingly important tool in the
study of fetal pathology. The myocardial performance index (MPI) is a parameter measuring …
