Pregnancies complicated by FGR presented with impaired maternal hemodynamic function, as evidenced by lower HR and CO, as well as higher MAP, SVR and UtA resistance. Pregnancies delivering a SGA neonate, without evidence of FGR, had normal maternal hemodynamic function. Maternal hemodynamic indices may therefore be of value in distinguishing FGR from SGA pregnancies. Copyright © 2019 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
