| Abstract | Objective: This study aimed to evaluate biventricular myocardial function and biventricular longitudinal global myocardial function of fetuses at different gestational weeks using ultrasonic velocity vector imaging. Methods: A total of 127 pregnant women were enrolled and divided into five groups according to the gestational age of their fetuses. The velocity, strain, and strain rate of the left and right ventricles were measured, and these biventricular parameters were compared between the groups. The global parameters of the biventricular myocardium were also compared. Results: A pairwise comparison revealed that the differences in biventricular velocity and strain rate between groups in adjacent gestational weeks were not statistically significant (P > 0.05), but velocity increased with gestational age. A comparison of fetal longitudinal global myocardial parameters revealed that the global velocity, strain, and strain rate of the right ventricle were higher than those of the left ventricle, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05) in all groups. Conclusion: The peak velocities of the fetal left and right ventricles increased with gestational age, but the global strain and strain rate did not, suggesting that fetal myocardial function is mature and constant in the middle and late stages of pregnancy and can more reliably reflect myocardial deformation. The peak systolic velocity, global strain, and peak strain rate of the right ventricle were higher than those of the left ventricle, suggesting that the right ventricle dominates longitudinal systolic movement from the second trimester of pregnancy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
