Longitudinal Course of Short-Term Variation and Doppler Parameters in Early Onset Growth Restricted Fetuses.

CONCLUSION:  Fetal heart rate STV does not deteriorate continuously. Therefore, cCTG monitoring should be performed at least daily in these high-risk fetuses. Doppler indices of umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA), however, showed continuous deterioration starting about 3 weeks prior to delivery.
