Fetal cardiac function by mitral and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion using spatio-temporal image correlation M-mode and left cardiac output in fetuses of pregestational diabetic mothers [PDF]

Obstetrics & Gynecology Science, 2021
Objective To assess the mitral and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursions (MAPSE and TAPSE, respectively) and cardiac output (CO) in fetuses of pregnant women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (DM) using spatio-temporal image correlation M-mode (

Glucocorticoids, antenatal corticosteroid therapy and fetal heart maturation

Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2018
Glucocorticoids are essential in mammals to mature fetal organs and tissues in order to survive after birth. Hence, antenatal glucocorticoid treatment (termed antenatal corticosteroid therapy) can be life-saving in preterm babies and is commonly used in ...

The electrical heart axis of the fetus between 18 and 24 weeks of gestation: A cohort study.

PLoS ONE, 2021
IntroductionA fetal anomaly scan in mid-pregnancy is performed, to check for the presence of congenital anomalies, including congenital heart disease (CHD). Unfortunately, 40% of CHD is still missed. The combined use of ultrasound and electrocardiography

Non-Invasive Placental Perfusion Imaging in Pregnancies Complicated by Fetal Heart Disease Using Velocity-Selective Arterial Spin Labeled MRI

Scientific Reports, 2017
The placenta is a vital organ for fetal growth and development during pregnancy. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in newborns. Despite the parallel development of the placenta and fetal heart early in pregnancy,

Magnesium sulfate-induced blocked premature atrial contractions resulting in fetal bradyarrhythmia

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2014
Here, we present a rare case of fetal bradyarrhythmia following magnesium sulfate therapy for preterm labor. After we switched treatment from ritodrine hydrochloride to magnesium sulfate at 25 weeks' gestation, the fetal heart rate dropped from 150 bpm ...

Validation of beat by beat fetal heart signals acquired from four-channel fetal phonocardiogram with fetal electrocardiogram in healthy late pregnancy

Scientific Reports, 2018
Fetal heart rate monitoring is an essential obstetric procedure, however, false-positive results cause unnecessary obstetric interventions and healthcare cost.
