Uterine artery Doppler ultrasonography is evaluated for predicting pre-eclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction associated with abnormal placenta formation and spiral artery invasion.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.
Uterine artery Doppler may aid pre-eclampsia risk stratification; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Pre-eclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction remain important causes of maternal and neonatal complications and death.[1][1]–[3][2] These 2 conditions are felt to be the result of abnormal placenta formation involving abnormal trophoblast invasion of spiral arteries and a reduction in
