May indicate subclinical LV dysfunction in IUGR with CPR; leaves open whether S' improves perinatal risk stratification.
Are left and right ventricular peak systolic tissue velocities altered in IUGR fetuses with CPR compared to normal fetuses?
IUGR fetuses with cerebroplacental redistribution exhibit reduced left ventricular systolic velocities, which correlates with umbilical artery flow abnormalities and may predict perinatal mortality.
Larsen et al. (2009) studied this question.
