Abstract
Determination of fetal LV rotational mechanics is feasible and reproducible using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography. Basal rotation, longitudinal strain, and strain rate vary little with EFW and GA. Interpretation of LV apical rotation, twist, torsion, GCS, and CSR, however, must take GA or EFW into account. These data form the basis for comparison with findings in fetuses with abnormal cardiac anatomy and function.
