OC195: The transvaginal ultrasound based acute gynaecology unit: Short term follow up of women seen with acute pelvic pain

Abstract

Oral communication abstracts and end systolic volumes were measured, and ejection fraction was calculated for each ventricle. Results: In approximately 90% of cases in which the fourchamber view was visualized, it was possible to calculate ventricular volumes. Volume of both ventricles increased in the course of pregnancy correlating with gestational age and estimated fetal weight. Unexpectedly, there was no significant difference between right and left ventricular volumes in the gestational ages studied. Ejection fraction of the ventricles was calculated at about 70%. Conclusion: 3D echocardiography can provide estimates of ventricular volume and function and may be used for evaluation of fetuses with congenital heart disease.
