Abstract
Ovine IUGR fetuses with high UmA Doppler indices have elevated systemic BPs. UmA Doppler indices of resistance correlate well with (1) fetal systemic BPs and (2) resistance as calculated by pressure/flow. This whole animal study shows that IUGR fetuses are hypertensive and that increased UmA Doppler resistance indices are consistent with a fetal-placental hypertensive state.
