Feasibility of angular M-mode shown in small fetal cohort; leaves open validation before any clinical adoption.
Is it feasible to determine right and left ventricular long-axis function in the fetus using angular M-mode echocardiography?
Angular M-mode echocardiography is a feasible method for assessing right and left ventricular long-axis function in fetuses, offering a new approach to study fetal systolic and diastolic function.
Carvalho et al. (2001) studied this question.
