Abstract:Fetal growth restriction (FGR) increases cardiovascular risk by cardiac remodeling and programming. This systematic review and meta-analysis across species examines the use of echocardiography in FGR offspring at different ages. PubMed and Embase.com were searched for animal and human studies reporting on echocardiographic parameters in placental insufficiency-induced FGR offspring. We included 6 animal and 49 human studies. While unable to perform a meta-analysis of animal studies due to insufficient number o… Show more
