Value of two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in evaluation of cardiac function in small fetuses
The layer-specific strain technique in 2D-STE is a sensitive tool for evaluation of left ventricular myocardial deformation in the heart of small fetuses, and can be used to identify the changes of cardiac function between FGR and SGA. Moreover, the combination of endoGLS and UA-PI as a new parameter may have better performance in predicting pregnancy outcome of small fetuses.
