Fetal heart check in late pregnancy

This study uses a special ultrasound method (speckle tracking echocardiography) to look for early signs that a twin pregnancy may have impaired fetal growth. It may help clinicians detect problems earlier and better understand how twin babies’ hearts and growth are affected.

This study looks at blood flow in a specific part of the fetal heart (the aortic isthmus) in babies who are growing slowly in the womb (fetal growth restriction). It aims to see how this blood flow changes and relates to other monitoring measurements, which may help doctors better understand and manage this condition.

This study follows pregnant women who have congenital heart disease (a heart problem present from birth). The goal is to monitor how both mother and baby are doing, which can help improve care for others in the same situation.

This study tests whether a routine heart recording test (ECG) can capture fetal (baby) heart activity during late pregnancy. It may help researchers find simpler ways to monitor baby heart rhythm without special equipment.

This study uses ultrasound in the later part of pregnancy to look for any birth defects that might appear after the routine second-trimester scan. It helps confirm that your baby is developing well as you get closer to delivery.

This study compares a computer-based analysis of the baby's heart rate tracing (called STV) with the standard visual check doctors perform. The goal is to see if the computer method better identifies babies who are struggling, so doctors can act sooner to keep the baby safe.
