Fetal postsystolic shortening assessment by myocardial deformation imaging: sign of cardiac dysfunction?
F etal growth restriction (FGR) is defined as seriously lower estimated fetal weight and (later) confirmed birth weight (lower than the 10th percentile according to local reference curves). This whole group is associated with poorer perinatal outcome (eg, preeclampsia and stillbirth) and has serious potential implications on their health status from early childhood to adult life, for example, h...
متن کاملPostsystolic shortening by myocardial deformation imaging as a sign of cardiac adaptation to pressure overload in fetal growth restriction.
BACKGROUND Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is associated with global adverse cardiac remodeling in utero and increased cardiovascular mortality in adulthood. Prenatal myocardial deformation has not been evaluated in FGR to date. We aimed to evaluate prenatal cardiac remodeling comprehensively in FGR including myocardial deformation imaging. METHODS AND RESULTS Echocardiography was performed in...
متن کاملAssessment of fetal myocardial deformation using speckle tracking techniques.
OBJECTIVE To report the current status of speckle tracking techniques in evaluation of fetal myocardial deformation. METHODS A variety of non-Doppler ultrasound methods are available using offline analysis of standard four-chamber and short axis views of the heart. RESULTS Most reports have used techniques developed for the measurement of strain and strain rate in the adult heart and produc...
متن کاملVelocity and deformation imaging for the assessment of myocardial dysfunction.
Recent developments in echocardiographic imaging technology and processing enabled the quantification of myocardial motion and deformation in a clinical setting. Echocardiographic strain (-rate) imaging provides a relatively easy way to study myocardial deformation. However, although (local) deformation is clearly linked to cardiac (dys-) function, it is important to understand how this informa...
متن کاملPost-Systolic Shortening by Myocardial Deformation Imaging as a Sign of Cardiac Adaptation to Pressure Overload in Fetal Growth Restriction Crispi et al: Myocardial Imaging in Fetal Growth Restriction
Background—Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is associated with global adverse cardiac remodeling in utero and increased cardiovascular mortality in adulthood. Prenatal myocardial deformation has not been evaluated in FGR so far. We aimed to comprehensively evaluate prenatal cardiac remodeling in FGR including myocardial deformation imaging. Methods and Results—Echocardiography was performed in 37...
