Implication

Normative fetal cardiac metrics emerge early; leaves open predictive utility for outcomes in prospective cohorts.

Structured PICO

P
Population
88 women with singleton, uncomplicated pregnancies in early first trimester
I
Intervention
Transvaginal ultrasound, pulsed and color Doppler
O
Outcome
Fetal cardiac and hemodynamic development (heart diameter, heart rate, inflow and outflow waveforms, IRT%, ICT%, Tei index)surrogate

Doppler examination of fetal cardiac function is feasible after 5 weeks of gestation, revealing that the embryonic heart depends on atrial contraction for ventricular filling and that non-surviving pregnancies manifest early myocardial dysfunction.
