Blood velocity significantly decreases along the fetal ductus venosus due to its conicity, though angle-independent indices remain unaffected by the sampling site.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Sampling site influences ductus venosus velocities but not angle-independent indices; leaves open whether standardization improves clinical utility.
Pennati et al. (1997) studied this question.
