Background—The goal of this statement is to review available literature and to put forth a
scientific statement on the current practice of fetal cardiac medicine, including the diagnosis …

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

In the modern world, cardiovascular disorders are the leading cause of mortality in
developed countries, which in most cases undergo a long subclinical phase that can last …

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 …

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 …

Objective To evaluate the effect of diabetes in pregnancy on fetal and neonatal cardiac
geometry and function around the time of delivery. Methods This was a prospective study of …

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 The objective of the study was to evaluate echocardiographic markers of cardiac
dysfunction in small-for-gestational age (SGA) fetuses with normal umbilical artery Doppler …

The purpose of this review is to evaluate the current modalities available for the assessment
of fetal cardiac function. The unique anatomy and physiology of the fetal circulation are …
