AbstractIntroductionThe adaptive changes of the foetal heart in intrauterine growth restriction can persist postnatally. Data regarding its consequences for early circulatory adaptation to extrauterine life are scarce. The aim of this study was to assess cardiac morphometry and function in newborns with late-onset intrauterine growth restriction to test the hypothesis that intrauterine growth restriction causes cardiac shape and functional changes at birth.MethodsA comprehensive echocardiographic study was performed in 25 neonates with intrauterine growth restriction and 25 adequate-for-gestational-age neonates.ResultsCompared with controls, neonates with intrauterine growth restriction had more globular ventricles, lower longitudinal tricuspid annular motion, and higher left stroke volume without differences in the heart rate. Neonates with intrauterine growth restriction also showed subclinical signs of diastolic dysfunction in the tissue Doppler imaging with lower values of early (e′) diastolic annular peak velocities in the septal annulus. Finally, the Tei index in the tricuspid annulus was higher in the intrauterine growth restriction group.ConclusionNeonates with history of intrauterine growth restriction showed cardiac remodelling and signs of systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Overall, there was a significant tendency to worse cardiac function results in the right heart. The adaptation to extrauterine life occurred with more globular hearts, higher stroke volumes but a similar heart rate compared to adequate-for-gestational-age neonates.

ABSTRACT Background Although it is known that cardiac parameters have abnormal values in severely affected fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), recent research suggested that subclinical cardiac dysfunction may be present from the early stages of fetal deterioration. The identification and monitoring of cardiac dysfunction may be relevant for the management of these cases. Materials and methods In this prospective observational study, we evaluated 17 IUGR fetuses from nulliparous pregnant women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia. Cardiac structural assessment was performed using segmental sequential analysis. Cardiac function was assessed by conventional echocardiography and Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI). Results Gestational age at admittance ranged between 24 and 30 weeks. A severe form of pre-eclampsia was diagnosed in 2 of 17 cases. Conventional cardiac examination showed low left and right ventricular diastolic filling with low E and A velocities, and increased myocardial performance indexes for both ventricles. Using TDI we observed decreased myocardial velocities and impaired contractility (demonstrated by low left and right diastolic velocities, as well as increased E’/A’ ratios). Conclusion Our study confirms the presence of early cardiac dysfunction in IUGR fetuses. Further studies are warranted to confirm the utility of TDI in obstetric ultrasound routine examination for monitoring fetal cardiac function in high-risk pregnancies.
