- Abstract
The cardiac output was measured by means of Doppler echocardiography in four anencephalic fetuses during the late second or third trimester of pregnancy. Anencephalic fetuses showed a higher dominance of right ventricular output when compared to healthy fetuses, suggesting that the relationship between brain mass and body weight affects the distribution of cardiac output.
