Are the cardiac dimensions spared in growth-restricted fetuses resulting from uteroplacental insufficiency?

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), specifically from uteroplacental insufficiency, on fetal cardiac dimensions. Material and Methods: Cardiac circumference (CC) and cardiac area (CA) were measured in four‐chamber view in 143 normal fetuses between 18 and 40 weeks of gestation. A study group comprised a homogeneous group of 49 IUGR fetuses with abnormal umbilical artery impedance....
