Evaluation of fetal cardiac morphology and function by fetal heart quantification technique in the normal second and third trimesters.

The whole and segmental size parameters of fetal heart can quantitatively evaluate the growth and development of fetal heart; the GSI and segmental SI are reliable morphological indexes for evaluating fetal heart; fetal ventricular function parameters EF, FAC, GLS and segmental FS can evaluate fetal cardiac function. The Fetal HQ technique can help us to evaluate the heart growth and development of normal fetuses in the second and third trimester of pregnancy.
