Prominent coronary artery flow with normal coronary artery anatomy is a rare but ominous harbinger of poor outcome in the fetus.

Objectives: "Heart sparing" refers to prominent antegrade fetal coronary artery (CA) blood flow readily visualized by color Doppler and is a harbinger of poor outcome in growth restricted fetus, but little is known of the features and presentation of heart sparing in normally grown fetuses. Our objective was to describe heart sparing effects in normally grown fetuses, and compare the presentation and outcome of heart sparing between fetuses with growth restriction and those who were normally grown.

Methods: In a series of fetuses with prominent antegrade CA flow, we assessed Doppler flow profiles in the aortic isthmus, ductus venosus (DV), umbilical vein (UV), umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA).
