A large number of clinical conditions have been found that may lead to intrauterine cardiac failure. Pulsed and color Doppler techniques have improved our knowledge of fetal cardiovascular response to structural and functional heart diseases. Key features of developing fetal hear failure that may be seen include: 1. Valvular regurgitation 2. Altered velocities 3. Chamber dilatation 4. Fluid collections: ascites, edema, pericardial 5. Reverse flow: vena cava, umbilical pulsations. Doppler blood flow studies have enable investigators and clinicians to better understand the pathological processes involved in developing fetal heart failure and to plan appropriate treatments or interventions. We can expect that further study and experience with the use of Doppler blood flow studies will lead to increased improvement in perinatal morbidity and mortality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
