Evaluation of the Fetal MPI in Abnormal Cardiotocography Cases in 3rd Trimester of Pregnancy and Fetal Outcome.
- Conditions
- Echocardiography
- Registration Number
- NCT03638245
- Lead Sponsor
- Ali Mohamed AbdEl-Halim Ali Mehanna
- Brief Summary
The study will focus in evaluation of fetal cardiac function by using myocardial performance index in fetuses with abnormal cardiotocography in 3rd trimester.
- Detailed Description
The study will focus in evaluation of fetal cardiac function by using myocardial performance index in fetuses with abnormal cardiotocography in 3rd trimester.
Study Hypothesis:
In women with non reassuring fetal cardiotocography, myocardial performance index may predict fetal distress accurately.
Study Question:
In pregnant women in the third trimester with abnormal cardiotocography, Does myocardial performance index predict fetal distress accurately?
Study Objectives:
This study aims to assess the accuracy of myocardial performance index in predicting fetal distress in pregnant women with non reassuring cardiotocography in third trimester.
