Abstract
Ultrasonography is widely used to evaluate the function of fetal heart, but due to the subjective nature of the test, there are differences in measurement methods for each examiner, and especially the myocardial performance index has no reference index to date. Therefore, in this study, we wanted to analyze pulse Doppler waveforms of normal fetuses and develop an automatic measurement program to make objective measurements. One hundred and thirty-three pregnant women who visited the hospital for prenatal examinations were studied, myocardial performance index was measured after acquiring a pulse doppler image of the left ventricle. As a result, the early, mid and late pregnancy myocardial performance index, measured by the automatic measurement program conducted in this study, was found to increase as pregnancy continued.
