Nair et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Normal singleton pregnancy (n=200). Fetal echocardiography was evaluated on Fetal left ventricular myocardial performance index (MPI). The normal left ventricular myocardial performance index in second and third trimester fetuses of the Indian population was 0.42 ± 0.03, and it was independent of gestational age and fetal heart rate.
