Mono‐dimensional, two‐dimensional and Doppler echocardiographic measurements in healthy Standardbred neonatal foals in the first 5 days of life

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bodyweight, age and breed influence the echocardiographic assessment of foals. There are no echocardiographic studies in Standardbred neonatal foals. Objectives To describe echocardiographic values for selected variables, evaluate intra‐ and inter‐observer variability and assess cardiac changes in the first 5 days of life in healthy

Fetal Diagnosis of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome With Restrictive Atrial Septum—Atrial Septal Morphology, Associated Lung Disease and Outcomes

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Fetuses with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and restrictive/intact atrial septum (RAS) have high mortality, partly due to pulmonary lymphangiectasia (PL). This study aimed to characterize atrial septal morphology in fetuses with HLHS and RAS and evaluate the impact of fetal intervention on PL and outcomes.
