Requires caution applying adult cardiac metrics to fetal assessment; leaves open need for fetus-specific validation.
This review highlights the challenges and pitfalls of adapting adult cardiac function assessment technologies to the unique physiological and anatomical constraints of the foetal heart.
Helena M. Gardiner (2014) conducted a review in Foetal cardiac function. Foetal cardiac function assessment technologies was evaluated. This review outlines the development and use of traditional and non-Doppler ultrasound methods for assessing foetal cardiac function, highlighting pitfalls in adapting adult technologies to the foetus.
