Cardiovascular Adaptation in Fetal Growth Restriction: A Longitudinal Study From Fetuses at Term to the First Year of Life
Perinatal cardiac remodelling and myocardial dysfunction in late FGR fetuses is most likely due to chronic placental hypoxaemia. Persistent changes in cardiac geometry and function in FGR offspring may reflect fetal cardiovascular maladaptation that could predispose to long-term cardiovascular complications in later life.
