Fetal AV flow differences in maternal diabetes may not reflect compliance changes; leaves open need for prospective outcome studies.
Does maternal pregestational diabetes alter fetal atrioventricular blood flow patterns compared to normal pregnancies?
Fetuses of women with well-controlled pregestational diabetes exhibit differences in atrioventricular blood flow patterns during the third trimester, which may not necessarily reflect changes in cardiac compliance.
