Provides normative fetal left mMPI ranges across gestation; supports research on cardiac function but requires validation before clinical adoption.
Cohort (n=730)
Normative reference ranges for the fetal left modified myocardial performance index from 11 to 41 weeks' gestation were established to aid in the assessment of fetal cardiac function.
Cruz‐Martínez et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Singleton fetuses (n=730). Gestational age was evaluated on Fetal left modified myocardial performance index (MPI). The mean fetal left modified myocardial performance index progressively increased from 0.39 at 11 weeks to 0.55 at 41 weeks of gestation.
