Heart function test for fetal anemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how fetal anemia affects the heart's ability to pump blood. It uses an ultrasound test called the myocardial performance index to check heart function in babies with anemia caused by blood type mismatch or parvovirus infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with a single baby
- The baby has been diagnosed with anemia based on an ultrasound measurement
- The anemia is caused by blood type mismatch (alloimmunization) or parvovirus infection
- You are willing to give informed consent to participate
- You do not have heart, lung, or severe blood clotting conditions
- You are not obese, as this can affect the accuracy of the ultrasound measurement

This study uses an ultrasound to measure blood flow speed in a baby's brain, which may help detect anemia (low red blood cells) in the womb. If you have been told your baby might have anemia, this test could provide important information.
This study looks at a special ultrasound test that checks how well the baby's heart is working. It aims to see if this test can help predict problems in pregnancies affected by diabetes or preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy).
This study uses automated ultrasound measurements to track how a baby’s heart is working during pregnancy. It compares babies who have a specific congenital heart problem with babies without it, to understand what ultrasound can detect.
This study checks unborn babies’ heart signals using special scans during pregnancy and then checks the baby’s heart shortly after birth. It may help researchers understand why certain high-risk pregnancies can lead to fetal demise and improve care.
This study monitors the heart sounds and electrical activity of pregnant women and their babies to help identify and manage heart risks early. It aims to improve heart care for both mother and child during pregnancy.
This study uses a special ultrasound (Doppler) to measure blood flow to your baby's brain during the third trimester. The goal is to see how anemia might affect your baby's health and birth outcomes.
