Early Intertwin Differences in Myocardial Performance During the Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome

Abstract

The observed diastolic function impairment goes along with the pressure-overload pathogenic concept proposed in TTTS. Assessment of intertwin difference in MPI is a valuable tool for early differential diagnosis between TTTS and isolated IUGR.
