Assessment of Fetal Cardiac Morphology and Function in Pregnant Women With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
STE indicated that fetuses in pregnant women with SLE present cardiac morphology and function that have changed compared to the controls. Further investigations are needed to evaluate STE indices such as the GLS, FAC, and 24-segment FS and SI to predict fetal prognosis in pregnant women with SLE.
