Changes in myocardial performance index and aortic isthmus and ductus venosus Doppler in term, small-for-gestational age fetuses with normal umbilical artery pulsatility index

To evaluate the changes in myocardial performance index (MPI) and aortic isthmus (AoI) and ductus venosus (DV) Doppler in term, small-for-gestational age (SGA) fetuses with normal umbilical artery (UA) Doppler.MPI, AoI and DV pulsatility indices (PI) were measured within 1 week prior to delivery in a cohort of 178 term singleton consecutive SGA fetuses with normal UA-PI (< 95(th) percentile) and 178 controls matched by gestational age....
