Objective: This study aimed to investigate factors influencing fetal growth restriction (FGR) occurrence and assess the clinical significance of fetal cardiac parameters in FGR prediction.
Methods: Pregnant women with clinically suspected FGR (n=179) and uncomplicated pregnancies (n=53) were included. All had undergone routine obstetric ultrasonography and fetal echocardiography.

Objective: Pregnancy causes physiological, hormonal, and hemodynamic changes that affect the aortic wall dimensions and elastic properties. Multiple pregnancies increase the risk of aortic enlargement and reduce aortic elasticity. The aortic stiffness index (ASI) and aortic velocity propagation (AVP) are markers of elasticity.

Background: Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy related disorder associated with hypertension and vascular inflammation, factors that are also involved in the pathological pathway of aortic dilatation and aneurysm development. It is, however, unknown if younger women with previous pre-eclampsia have increased aortic dimensions. We tested the hypothesis that previous pre-eclampsia is associated with increased aortic dimensions in younger women.

To analysis the clinical characteristics of 400 fetuses with heart defects and the impactors of pregnancy decision making, and explore the influence of a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) cooperation approach on it. Clinical data of 400 fetuses with abnormal cardiac structure diagnosed at Peking University First Hospital from January 2012 to June 2021 were collected, which were divided into 4 groups according to the characteristics of fetal heart defects and the presence of extracardiac abnormalities or not: single cardiac defects without extracardiac abnormalities (122 cases), multiple cardiac defects without extracardiac abnormalities (100 cases), single cardiac defects with extracardiac abnormalities (115 cases), and multiple cardiac defects with extracardiac abnormalities (63 cases). The types of fetal cardiac structural abnormalities and genetic test results, and the detection rate of pathogenic genetic abnormalities, MDT consultation and management situation, and pregnancy decision of fetuses in each group were retrospectively analyzed.
