Key Points

Fetal cardiac function is adversely affected in pregnancies with intrahepatic cholestasis, leading to potential perinatal complications.
Significantly elevated bile acids and liver enzymes, including AST and ALT, are observed in affected pregnancies compared to controls.
Echocardiographic measurements of the myocardial performance index and other indices provide insights into fetal cardiac health.
The study design includes a prospective case-control comparison, aimed at understanding the relationship between cardiac function and perinatal outcomes.
