Pulmonary Vein Flow Impedance: An Early Predictor of Cardiac Dysfunction in Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Discussion: Higher PVPI in IUGR reflects decreased LV compliance and altered LA dynamics. As LV dysfunction precedes right ventricle, our results suggest that PVPI could be an early echocardiographic parameter of fetal diastolic function in IUGR.Fetal Diagn Ther
