Measurement of global longitudinal cardiac strain and strain rate is possible in fetuses using VVI. Segmental measurements are not significantly different from global measurements; global measurements may be a useful tool to quantitate fetal cardiac function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
