Systolic myocardial velocity alterations in the growth‐restricted fetus with cerebroplacental redistribution

Abstract

CDMI facilitates acquisition of fetal myocardial ventricular S'. The combination of IUGR and CPR is associated with a reduced left ventricular S', especially in those with reversed UA flow. In this subgroup a left S' below 1.6 cm/s seemed to predict mortality in the perinatal period.
