Abstrakt: This article discusses a study that aimed to evaluate the role of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in distinguishing between small-for-gestational age (SGA) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) in fetuses at risk for late-onset FGR. The study included non-anomalous singleton pregnancies with suspected late-onset FGR and used ultrasound clips of the fetal heart to perform offline STE. The results showed differences in right ventricular strain between SGA, FGR, and evolving FGR, suggesting increased cardiac deformation in the latter group. However, no differences in STE parameters were found between SGA and FGR. [Extracted from the article]
