2. 1. Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) : outcomes with special reference to cardiovascular function

   Author : Cecilia Pegelow Halvorsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Fetal environment has become a subject for increasing interest when studying health and disease in adults. Monozygous (MZ) twins, especially gestations complicated with twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), offer a unique opportunity to study adverse developmental programming of the cardiovascular system.

   Abstract : Fetal growth restriction has been linked to later cardiovascular disease, possibly through reduced arterial distensibility in response to a suboptimal intrauterine environment. This thesis sought firstly to examine the relationship between fetal growth and haemodynamics and their effect on later cardiovascular function and secondly to examine the effects of differential volume loading on arterial distensibility in genetically identical monochorionic twins with twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and to explore the effect that early treatment has on vascular development.
