Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify specific fetal echocardiography markers that can accurately predict coarctation of the aorta (CoA) in newborns, as current diagnostic methods have a high rate of false positives.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective case-control study comparing various echocardiographic measurements of infants who required treatment for CoA after birth with those who did not, stratifying results based on gestational age (GA).
- Results showed that specific ratios of right to left ventricular dimensions and deformation parameters are the most effective predictors of true CoA, particularly the RV/LV end-diastolic area ratio, which identified all cases of CoA with a high sensitivity.
