Abstract:Objective To evaluate the association between fetal cardiac deformation analysis (CDA) and cardiac function with severe adverse perinatal outcomes in fetuses with isolated left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
Methods CDA in each ventricle (contractility, size, and shape), evaluated by speckle tracking and novel FetalHQ software, and markers of cardiac function (E/A ratios, pulmonary and aortic peak systolic velocities, and sigmoid annular valves diameters), were evaluated in fetuses with isolated left … Show more
