“…Most of the reported studies, however, had been used in assessing right ventricular function in adult patients with heart failure. 18 In our study, we found that fTAPSE values increase linearly with gestational age and foetal weight. Hence, considering ongoing developmental changes it was deemed more useful to have a reference ranges of fTAPSE for both gestational age and foetal weight rather than a single value, as seen in Tables 4 and 5 respectively.…”

Background: Foetal tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (fTAPSE) in-utero helps in the evaluation of the right foetal cardiac function, which is key in the early diagnosis of congenital heart defects and abnormalities. Objectives of the study was to assess foetal TAPSE in the second half of normal pregnancy, establish reference ranges for this measurement in our environment, and to determine the relationship of foetal TAPSE with gestational age and estimated foetal weight.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2022 and August 2022 at the Obstetric Units and Radiology Departments of the two tertiary facilities, one secondary facility and one radiodiagnostic facility in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Consenting pregnant women presenting to the antenatal clinic during the second half of pregnancy were consecutively included. An obstetric ultrasound scan was performed transabdominally. Data were analysed using SPSS version 25.Results: There was a very strong, positive and significant relationship between fTAPSE and gestational age (ɼ=0.81; p=0.001); and between fTAPSE and estimated foetal weight (ɼ=0.79; p=0.001). The mean fTAPSE and standard deviation from the 20th to the 23rd week of gestation were 2.10±1.11 mm, 2.43±0.95, 2.74±0.84 mm and 2.94±0.70 mm, showing a gradual increase in mean fTAPSE as gestational age increases.Conclusions: Our study revealed that there was a significant relationship between fTAPSE and gestational age; and between fTAPSE and estimated foetal weight, which correlates with published data around the globe.

“…In addition, this study also demonstrated that the left atrial function index had no correlation with tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, and this may be due to the fact that the population of this study was mostly patients with chronic stable heart failure who were routinely followed up in the clinic. A study from Nigeria [ 22 ] reported a similar finding, but it is different from another work from the same country [ 23 ] that studied the right ventricular function in patients with heart failure in a cardiac clinic and demonstrated that left atrial diameter correlated negatively with tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion.…”

BackgroundHeart failure contributes to the global burden of cardiovascular diseases, with hypertensive heart failure affecting individuals in their productive age group and leading to high economic losses and disabilityadjusted life years. The left atrium, on the other hand, contributes significantly to left ventricular filling in heart failure patients, and the left atrial function index is an excellent tool for assessing left atrial function among heart failure patients. The study aimed to evaluate some parameters of systolic and diastolic function as correlates and potential predictors of the left atrial function index among hypertensive heart failure cohorts.

“…This radiological feature of the foetal left ventricular function in normal pregnancy has not yet been extensively investigated, especially in Nigeria. The majority of the reported investigations had focused on evaluating right and left ventricular performance in adults with heart conditions [17][18][19][20][21] . A few other authors compared cardiac function between foetuses of women with diabetes mellitus in pregnancy and those with normal pregnancies [1,8] .…”

Background: Foetal mitral annular plane systolic excursion (fMAPSE) helps in the evaluation of the left foetal cardiac function, which is key in the early diagnosis of congenital heart defects and abnormalities. Objectives: To assess foetal MAPSE in the second half of normal pregnancy, to establish reference ranges for this measurement in our environment, and to determine the relationship between foetal MAPSE and gestational age and estimated foetal weight. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2022 and August 2022 at the Obstetric Units and Radiology Departments of the two tertiary facilities, one secondary facility and one radiodiagnostic facility in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Consenting pregnant women presenting to the antenatal clinics of the study centres during the second half of pregnancy were consecutively included. Obstetric ultrasound scans were was transabdominally. Data were analysed using SPSS version 25. Results: The correlation coefficient (ɼ) between fMAPSE and gestational age was 0.21 with a p-value of 0.001, reflecting a significant but weak relationship between fMAPSE and gestational age. There was a positively weak but significant relationship (ɼ = 0.29; p -0.001) between fMAPSE and estimated foetal weight. Conclusion: Our study revealed that there was a significant relationship between fMAPSE and gestational age, and between fMAPSE and estimated foetal weight, which correlates with published data around the globe.
