Assessment of the Size and Shape of the 4-Chamber View and the Right and Left Ventricles using Fetal Speckle Tracking in Normal Fetuses at 17-24 Gestational Weeks

Conclusion: Our study provided z-score and corresponding centile calculators, 5th and 95th centile reference tables, and corresponding graphs for evaluating the size and shape of the 4CV and the right and left ventricles using 6 independent variables between 17 and 24 weeks of gestation. These results provide normal reference ranges for future studies of fetuses with pathologies that may alter the size and shape of the 4-chamber view and ventricles.
