Key result
Doppler ultrasonography demonstrated that maximum systolic velocity in the fetal heart was highest in the first trimester and significantly lower in the second and third trimesters (p < 0.05).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to determine blood flow velocity parameters in the fetal heart and aorta in goats using Doppler ultrasonography.

Doppler ultrasonography can effectively monitor fetal blood flow changes across different stages of pregnancy in goats.
Fasulkov et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Pregnancy (n=24). Pregnancy trimester vs. Between trimesters was evaluated on Maximum systolic velocity in the fetal heart (p=< 0.05). Doppler ultrasonography demonstrated that maximum systolic velocity in the fetal heart was highest in the first trimester and significantly lower in the second and third trimesters (p < 0.05).
