Implication

M-mode echocardiography is a feasible tool for assessing fetal cardiac structures and establishing normative growth charts during gestation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Normal pregnancies with structurally normal fetal hearts, gestational ages between 16 and 39 weeks
I
Intervention
M-mode echocardiography (with concurrent two-dimensional fetal cardiac examination)
O
Outcome
Measurement data for six cardiac variables (septal and left ventricular wall thickness, right and left ventricular internal dimension in diastole, aortic root dimension, and left atrial internal dimension) to construct growth chartssurrogate
