Abstract:Oral communication abstractsObjectives: We assessed the feasibility of fetal sheep cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) measurements of ventricular volume for chamber sizes and cardiac output against gold standard cine phase-contrast (PC) measurements made in the ascending aorta (AAo) and main pulmonary artery (MPA). Methods: 5 ewes with singleton pregnancies underwent surgery at 112-120d (term = 150d) to catheterise the fetal femoral artery. At 139-140d, ewes were anesthetised to undergo fetal CMR using the femor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
