OP02.05: 2D speckle‐tracking echocardiography in intrauterine growth restricted fetuses

Assessment of myocardial deformation in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) by 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography and to compare these values and their evolution to those in normal growth fetuses (NG). 55 fetuses, 34 IUGR and 16 NG, were scanned prospectively during 2nd and 3rd trimester.
