Abstract
- The article presents a study which examines the validity of the myocardial performance index (MPI) in the assessment of fetal cardiac function in the second and third trimesters of gestation. The index was measured in relation to the systolic and diastolic indices of 117 healthy fetuses and 14 fetuses suspected for cardiac failure. It concludes that MPI is an indicator of the diastolic and systolic functions of fetal left ventricular valve.
