4. Fetal echo doppler for early detection of congenital heart block
Abstract : Background: Fetal echo Doppler methods detecting prolonged atrioventricular (AV) time intervals, a mechanical PR interval corresponding to the electrical PR interval in ECG, have been proposed for surveillance of pregnancies at risk of complete congenital heart block (CCHB). The aim of this thesis was; to validate these Doppler methods by comparing AV time intervals from left ventricular inflow (MV), inflow and aortic outflow (MV-Ao) and superior vena cava and aortic flow (SVC-Ao) with ECG in newborns (Paper I); to investigate the significance of mechanical components in AV time prolongation (Paper II); to evaluate the diagnostic precision in a target population (Paper III) and to verify childhood outcome of fetuses, exposed to maternal anti- SSA/Ro antibodies (SSA),(Paper IV).
