Key result
Right and left ventricular Doppler velocity waveform parameters differed significantly (P<0.001 for all except total-A and acc-E) in normal fetuses at 17-38 weeks gestation.
Cross-Sectional (n=359)
p-value: p=<0.001
This study establishes reference ranges for fetal cardiac flow velocity waveforms, highlighting developmental differences between the right and left ventricles.

Establishes fetal ventricular Doppler reference ranges; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use in prenatal diagnosis.
Kurihara et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Normal fetuses (n=359). Right versus left ventricular parameters was evaluated on Time intervals of each component of cardiac flow velocity waveforms (p=<0.001). Right and left ventricular Doppler velocity waveform parameters differed significantly (P<0.001 for all except total-A and acc-E) in normal fetuses at 17-38 weeks gestation.
