To investigate the utility of repeat fetal echocardiography (FE) following a diagnosis of structural congenital heart disease (CHD) on the initial FE. We evaluated how often changes in management and ...
This was a retrospective review of all patients who presented to our center between January 2012 and January 2019 and who had more than one FE performed for structural CHD. We reviewed consultation no...
Between January 2012 and January 2019, 267 patients underwent 534 follow-up FE assessments performed for structural CHD. Management change based on repeat FE occurred in 41/267 (15.4%) cases. A change...
The clinical utility of follow-up FE is associated with the type of CHD diagnosed. Follow-up FE led to changes in management in several types of CHD, most commonly in cases with an initial diagnosis o...
This study aims to investigate non-invasive electrocardiography as a method for the detection of congenital heart disease (CHD) with the help of artificial intelligence....
An artificial neural network was trained for the identification of CHD using non-invasively obtained fetal electrocardiograms. With the help of a Bayesian updating rule, multiple electrocardiographs w...
Using 122 measurements containing 65 healthy and 57 CHD cases, the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were found to be 71%, 63%, and 77%, respectively. The sensitivity was however 75% and 69% for ...
The proposed method combining recent advances in obtaining non-invasive fetal electrocardiography with artificial intelligence for the automatic detection of CHD achieved a detection rate of 63% for a...
Background Fetal diagnosis of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) has been increasingly reported; however, predictors of clinical outcomes remain underexplored. We under...
Fetal congenital heart disease (FCHD) is a common, serious birth defect affecting ∼1% of newborns annually. Fetal echocardiography is the most effective and important technique for prenatal FCHD diagn...
Maternal anti-Ro/SSA antibodies can cause fetal atrioventricular blocks (AVB). This pilot study aims to apply previously published echocardiographic reference ranges of the fetal atrioventricular (AV)...
Between January 2018 and September 2022, we included all women with known anti-Ro/SSA antibodies followed up at the prenatal ultrasound department of the University Hospital of Bern. AV intervals were...
We included 23 pregnancies from 17 anti-Ro/SSA antibody-positive women with connective tissue diseases. 443 AV interval measurements were recorded between 16+3 and 38+4 weeks of gestation. 14 (3.2%) A...
AV intervals of pregnancies followed up for anti-Ro/SSA antibodies without neonatal AVB lie within our published polynomial reference ranges. While diagnosing a 1° AVB remains controversial, more data...
To determine whether changes in fetal heart function according to glycemic control in pregnant women with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes using spectral tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and M-mode imaging....
This study included 68 pregestational diabetic women (DM) at 30-32 gestational weeks. All participants were divided into two groups: type 1(n = 17) and type 2(n = 51), and then these groups were divid...
Thickness measurements, early diastolic annular peak velocity (E'), late diastolic annular peak velocity (A'), tissue isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT'), and tissue myocardial performance index (MPI...
Maternal hyperglycemia leads to subtle changes in systolic and diastolic functions both in the interventricular septum and ventricles, so it is essential to ensure glycemic control in both Type 1 and ...
Fetal growth restricted (FGR) neonates have increased risk of circulatory compromise due to failure of normal transition of circulation after birth....
Echocardiographic assessment of heart function in FGR neonates first three days after birth....
Prospective observational study....
FGR- and non-FGR neonates....
M-mode excursions and pulsed-wave tissue Doppler velocities normalised for heart size and E/e' of the atrioventricular plane day one, two and three after birth....
Compared with controls (non-FGR of comparable gestational age, n = 41), late-FGR (gestational age ≥ 32 weeks, n = 21) exhibited higher septal excursion (15.9 (0.6) vs. 14.0 (0.4) %, p = 0.021) (mean (...
FGR impacted neonatal heart function the early transitional days after birth. Late-FGR hearts had increased septal contraction and reduced left diastolic function compared with controls. The dynamic c...
To compare the fetal cardiac functions in preeclampsia and control group, and determine whether the severity or amount of proteinuria affects fetal cardiac functions....
This prospective case-control study involves 48 pregnant women with preeclampsia and 48 healthy women. Pulsed wave Doppler, M-mode, and tissue Doppler imaging were used to measure the cardiac function...
Decreased diastolic function (decreased E, A, E', and A' values in mitral/tricuspid valves and increased isovolumetric relaxation time) and decreased systolic functions (decreased mitral and tricuspid...
Preeclampsia may cause changes in systolic and diastolic functions in the fetal heart. Subclinical functional changes of these fetuses can be detected earlier and more sensitively with the help of tis...
The fetal heart adapts dynamically to nutrient and oxygen needs from all fetal organs. These continuous changes make it difficult to define normal/abnormal cardiac function based only on the evaluatio...
To assess differences in cardiac morphology and function at midgestation in fetuses from pregnancies that subsequently developed preeclampsia (PE) or gestational hypertension (GH)....
This was a prospective study in 5,801 women with singleton pregnancies attending for a routine ultrasound examination at midgestation, including 179 (3.1%) who subsequently developed PE and 149 (2.6%)...
In fetuses from the PE group (vs the no PE or GH group) there was a significantly higher left ventricular global longitudinal strain and lower left ventricular ejection fraction that could not be acco...
At midgestation, fetuses of mothers at risk of developing PE, but not those at risk of GH, have mild reduction in left ventricular myocardial function. Although absolute differences were minimal and m...
