Dyssynchronous Fetal Heart Failure in Maternal Diabetes: Evaluation with Speckle Tracking Echocardiography and Novel M-Mode Software
Increased intraventricular DYS demonstrated an impact of maternal diabetes mellitus on fetal hearts independent of gestational age. The prototype M-mode method identified cardiac dysfunction with higher accuracy than the conventional analysis. High-quality echocardiographic image acquisition is imperative for clinical application of 2D-STE and related advanced technologies.
