- Abstract
The article presents a study which evaluates the second-trimester placenta/combined cardiac output (CCO) fraction in relation to other hemodynamic changes in a group of fetuses at high risk of developing intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The results suggest that, in fetuses developing IUGR secondary to placental compromise, umbilical vein flow and placental/CCO fraction are reduced by 20-24 weeks, which occurs earlier than modifications in fetal size and pulsatility index values.
