Impact of Atrioventricular Conduction Time and Heart Rate on Fetal Left Ventricular Function Quantification—The Role of 2D Speckle‐Tracking Echocardiography
This study demonstrated that the LV MPI showed a significant dependence on AV conduction time. In contrast, LV EF and FAC, calculated using 2D-STE, remained robust and independent of variations in AV conduction time and FHR in healthy fetuses.
