چکیده

conclusions we did not find significant differences in ventricular function or ventricular septal thickness in the fetuses of mothers who were referred to our hospital with a previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus compared with the fetuses of non-diabetic mothers. this could be due to early identification, appropriate treatment, and tightly controlled diabetes in our study population. it should be noted that only pregnant women who were being closely monitored by their gynecologist were referred to us, so there may be some bias in our case selection; moreover, only patients who have taken steps to control their diabetes, so that only one of them had an abnormal hba1c level. other possible reasons for our results are over-diagnosis of gestational diabetes by gynecologists and an inadequate number of participants in our study. results according to cut-off value of 6.3% for hemoglobin a1c (hba1c), only one patient with hba1c = 8 had uncontrolled diabetes. in 20 other patients with controlled diabetes, the mean hba1c was 4.78 ± 1.22%. there was no significant difference between groups according to maternal age (29.24 ± 5.86 in the case group vs. 28.58 ± 4.42 in the control group, p = 0.6). no significant difference was found in the septal thicknesses between the two groups (p = 0.39). moreover, there were no statistically significant differences between groups in terms of other echocardiography variables (p > 0.05). background maternal diabetes is associated with increased teratogenic effects on fetuses; it affects the structure and functions of fetal heart and alters the fetal-placental circulation. although several articles have demonstrated fetal cardiac malformation and defects in diabetic mothers, ventricular systolic and diastolic function has not been properly investigated, particularly in iran. objectives the aim of this study was to assess ventricular function using tissue doppler imaging (tdi) in fetuses of diabetic mothers compared with fetuses of non-diabetic mothers in the iranian population. patients and methods twenty-one diabetic pregnant women at 28 weeks’ gestation were enrolled as the case group, and 35 healthy pregnant women at the same gestation were considered as the control group. fetal echocardiography, including tdi, was carried out for all cases. the variables measured by echocardiography were as follows: the systolic annular peak velocity (sa), late-diastolic annular peak velocity (aa), and diastolic annular peak velocity (ea) waves on the lateral and septal walls of the left ventricle (lv) at the mitral valve annulus using tdi; mitral inflow e and a waves using pulse doppler; and inter-ventricular septum thickness using two-dimensional (2d) echocardiography.

Morphometric study of cerebrum in fetuses of diabetic mothers

In pregnant mothers maternal diabetes happens when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, soblood glucose increases in the mother and then in the fetus, resulting in several injuries in neonates. Thisstudy was conducted to evaluate the effects of maternal diabetes on fetal cerebrum. Sixteen adult female rats were divided in two equal groups. Diabetes was induced in one group by alloxan.

Pulmonary vein pulsatility in fetuses of diabetic mothers: prenatal Doppler echocardiographic study.

OBJECTIVE To verify the hypothesis that the pulmonary vein pulsatility index is higher in fetuses of diabetic mothers than it is in normal fetuses of nondiabetic mothers. METHODS Twenty-four fetuses of mothers with either gestational or previous diabetes (cases), and 25 normal fetuses of mothers without systemic disease (control) were examined. Fetuses were examined through prenatal Doppler a...

Evaluation of right ventricular function in fetuses with hypoplastic left heart syndrome using tissue Doppler techniques.

OBJECTIVE The outcome of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is influenced by right ventricular function. This study aimed to investigate whether differences in right ventricular function of fetuses with HLHS are present during gestation. METHODS This was a prospective study comprising 14 fetuses with HLHS (28 measurements obtained in total) and 28 normal control fetuses (31 ...

Depressed left and right ventricular cardiac output in fetuses of diabetic mothers

INTRODUCTION We compared right and left ventricular cardiac output (RVCO and LVCO) in fetuses of diabetic mothers (FDM) to a large normal cohort. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 264 normal fetuses and 30 FDM. Fetal CO parameters: semilunar valve velocity time integrals (AVVTI, PVVTI), ventricular outflow diameters (LVOTD, RVOTD), stroke volumes (AVSV, PVSV) were measured, and LVCO and RVCO ...
