Supplementary Material for: The Relationship between Cardiac Size and Shape Measurements and Cardiac Contractility in Intrauterine Growth Restricted Fetuses

Introduction: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) affects cardiac function and increases the risk of cardiac pathologies. We describe the relationship between cardiac contractility and cardiac size and shape in FGR and small-for-gestational age (SGA) fetuses to determine if ultrasound measurements can indicate functional cardiac sequelae. Methods: This prospective cohort study included fetuses with gestational ages of 23.0-39.0 weeks (FGR: n=55, SGA: n=40, appropriate for gestational age/AGA: n= 22). FGR was defined as fetuses with EFW
