Abstract
In conclusion, we found that the myocardial performances of both ventricles decreased during the transition from fetus to neonate using TDI parameters. In particular, left ventricular systolic performance was affected more than when fetal circulation changed to neonate circulation. Our findings suggest that serial change in TDI can give new information to estimate myocardial performance of the neonate.
