Introduction: Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) causes substantial morbidity and increased mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Besides heart rate variability (HRV), heart rate turbulence (HRT) is an important method of assessment of cardiac autonomic regulation. The aim of the study was to assess the correlation between HRT and diabetic control.

Methods: Detailed Doppler evaluation of blood flow in fetal IVC was performed prior to Atosiban administration and after 24 and 48 hours respectively. Maternal and fetal heart rate was assessed.
Objectives: The aims were to assess the placental and fetal circulation during nifedipine tocolysis within the first 48 hours of therapy.
Methods: Placental and fetal circulation was assessed in Doppler ultrasound examination prior to nifedipine administration and then after 24 and 48 hours. Maternal heart rate and PI in uterine arteries were evaluated as well as FHR, RI and PI of UA and MCA.
Objectives: The aims were to investigate whether any changes in placental and fetal circulation were observed during fenoterol tocolysis within the first 48 hours of therapy.
Material And Methods: Doppler evaluation of placental and fetal circulation was performed prior to fenoterol administration and then after 24 and 48 hours. Maternal heart rate and pulsatility index (PI) in uterine arteries were assessed.
Objective: to investigate whether any changes in the preload index (PLI) occur within the first 48 hours of fenoterol intravenous tocolysis.
Material And Methods: Doppler evaluation of placental and fetal circulation was performed in 36 pregnant women prior to fenoterol administration and after 24/48 hours. Measurements were obtained from a longitudinal section of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and preload index was calculated.
