Echocardiographic Assessment of Ventricular Strain During a Healthy Pregnancy in the First, Second, and Third Trimester.

Mexico50 participantsStarted 2020-10-01

Plain-language summary

Pregnancy is a physiological situation that produces transient preload and afterload changes. The heart is subjected to reversible morphological remodelings and hemodynamic and functional adaptations. The characterization and understanding of maternal cardiac function during normal pregnancy by echocardiography 2D is of clinical importance for the opportune recognition of cardiac pathology. This study aims to investigate pregnancy-induced changes in ventricular strain in healthy pregnant women by echocardiography.
