Alternative parameters for echocardiographic assessment of fetal diastolic function

Alternative parameters for echocardiographic assessment of fetal diastolic function

Alternative methods to assess ventricular diastolic function in the fetus are proposed. Fetal myocardial hypertrophy in maternal diabetes was used as a model of decreased left ventricular compliance (LVC), and fetal respiratory movements as a model of increased LVC. Comparison of three groups of fet...
