Abstract:
ObjectiveTo quantitative evaluate the alterations of cardiac morphology and function in gestational impaired glucose tolerance(GIGT) fetuses.MethodsFetal echocardiograms were performed on 68 GIGT fetuses with gestation age between 21 ～ 40 weeks for evaluation of cardiac morphology and function.Fetal cardiac morphology,systolic and diastolic functions of 68 GIGT fetuses were compared with 81 control group fetuses using conventional two-dimensional,M-mode,pulsed Doppler echocardiography and myocardial tissue Doppler imaging.ResultsComprehensive fetal echocardiography data analysis showed no significant differences in cardiac morphology and function between two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusions The alterations of cardiac morphology and function in GIGT fetuses can be accurately and objectively evaluated using quantitative evaluation in fetal echocardiography and will help to offer consultation.
