In pregnancies complicated by fetal congenital heart disease (CHD), global
placental perfusion was significantly decreased and regional variation of
placental perfusion significantly increased as pregnancies progressed, findings that point to non-invasive imaging providing an
early warning of
placental dysfunction.
If there were
