Abstrakt: This article discusses a study conducted on fetuses with late-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) to investigate patterns of cardiac remodeling and evaluate fetal cardiac function using speckle tracking fetal echocardiography (STE). The study found three distinct cardiac remodeling phenotypes: a morphologically normal heart, a morphologically elongated heart, and a morphologically globular heart. The comparison of cardiac functional parameters using STE showed differences in left and right ventricular strain among the phenotypes. This study highlights the existence of different cardiac remodeling phenotypes in fetuses with late-onset FGR and their association with variations in ventricular strain. [Extracted from the article]
