The article presents the effectiveness of Dopplerometry for assessing blood flow in large vessels, including the umbilical, uterine artery and middle cerebral artery, 90 women were examined in the second trimester, and 45 women showed signs of placental insufficiency, such as fetal growth restriction syndrome at 28-34 weeks. The results of the study showed that 23 (51.1%) women had signs of subcompensated insufficiency of uteroplacental blood flow, and 11 (24.4%) women showed signs of fetal-placental blood flow. The study of the uteroplacental-fetal blood flow allows early detection of early signs of impairment in the fetoplacental system and its timely correction.

Nitric oxide (NO) is essential in the control of fetoplacental vascular tone, maintaining a high flow−low resistance circulation that favors oxygen and nutrient delivery to the fetus. Reduced fetoplacental blood flow is associated with pregnancy complications and is one of the major causes of fetal growth restriction (FGR). The reduction of dietary nitrate to nitrite and subsequently NO may provide an alternative source of NO in vivo. We have previously shown that nitrite induces vasorelaxation in placental blood vessels from normal pregnancies, and that this effect is enhanced under conditions of hypoxia. Herein, we aimed to determine whether nitrite could also act as a vasodilator in FGR. Using wire myography, vasorelaxant effects of nitrite were assessed on pre-constricted chorionic plate arteries (CPAs) and veins (CPVs) from normal and FGR pregnancies under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Responses to the NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), were assessed in parallel. Nitrate and nitrite concentrations were measured in fetal plasma. Hypoxia significantly enhanced vasorelaxation to nitrite in FGR CPAs (p < 0.001), and in both normal (p < 0.001) and FGR (p < 0.01) CPVs. Vasorelaxation to SNP was also potentiated by hypoxia in both normal (p < 0.0001) and FGR (p < 0.01) CPVs. However, compared to vessels from normal pregnancies, CPVs from FGR pregnancies showed significantly lower reactivity to SNP (p < 0.01). Fetal plasma concentrations of nitrate and nitrite were not different between normal and FGR pregnancies. Together, these data show that nitrite-mediated vasorelaxation is preserved in FGR, suggesting that interventions targeting this pathway have the potential to improve fetoplacental blood flow in FGR pregnancies.

Placental blood flow was studied in 103 women with singleton pregnancies at 7–15 weeks of gestation by 3D power Doppler. Reduced placental vasculature was revealed using 3D power Doppler at 7–15 weeks of gestation and it was defined as a diagnostic criterion of placental dysfunction and prognostic marker of fetal growth retardation.
