Summary

Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) using the tracking method is feasible for assessing fetal heart function. Myocardial velocities increase throughout gestation, with higher increases in ventricular walls than the septum, aiding in pathology detection.

Fetal Circulation

Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
