Evaluation of ventricular dyssynchrony in fetuses of diabetic mothers measured by the tissue Doppler indices: a case-control study

The findings of the current study revealed significant cardiac dysfunction and dyssynchrony in fetuses of diabetic pregnant women. We also found that the IVMDI, which indicates the extent of inter-ventricular dyssynchrony, and the LVMPI index, which indicates the global dysfunction of the heart, can be used to predict adverse neonatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated with overt diabetes.
