Changes in the shape and function of the fetal heart of pre- and gestational diabetes mothers
BackgroundHyperglycemia during pregnancy can affect fetal heart in many ways, including causing cardiac malformation, leading to hypertrophic...
-
Machine Learning to Predict Outcomes of Fetal Cardiac Disease: A Pilot Study
Prediction of outcomes following a prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) is challenging. Machine learning (ML) algorithms may be used...
