The study will focus in evaluation of fetal cardiac function by using myocardial performance index in fetuses with abnormal cardiotocography in 3rd trimester.
The study will focus in evaluation of fetal cardiac function by using myocardial performance index in fetuses with abnormal cardiotocography in 3rd trimester. Study Hypothesis: In women with non reassuring fetal cardiotocography, myocardial performance index may predict fetal distress accurately. Study Question: In pregnant women in the third trimester with abnormal cardiotocography, Does myocardial performance index predict fetal distress accurately? Study Objectives: This study aims to assess the accuracy of myocardial performance index in predicting fetal distress in pregnant women with non reassuring cardiotocography in third trimester.
