Análise Doppler ecocardiográfica fetal de gestantes portadoras de diabete melito gestacional

Objetivo: Avaliar dados Doppler- ecocardiografico fetal, em gestantes portadoras de diabete melito gestacional (DMG). Metodo: Estudo prospectivo descritivo, realizado no periodo de abril de 2.007 a marco de 2.008. Foram avaliados 68 fetos de gestantes portadoras de DMG. com idade gestacional entre 22 e 37 semanas. As variaveis analisadas foram: caracteristicas epidemiologicas maternas relativas ao DMG e parâmetros do Doppler-ecocardiograma fetal. Resultados: A prevalencia de hipertrofia miocardica foi de 27,9%. Os fetos com hipertrofia miocardica (HMC) apresentaram idade gestacional menor (29,3 versus 32,0 semanas p Objective: To evaluate data from fetal Doppler echocardiography performed in pregnant patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods: This is a prospective, descriptive study carried out from April 2007 to March 2008. Sixty-eight fetuses withgestational age ranging from 22 to 37 weeks, from pregnant patients presenting GDM were analyzed. Variables analyzed were maternal GDM-related epidemiological characteristics and settings from fetal Doppler echocardiography. Results: Prevalence rate of myocardial hypertrophy was 27.9%. Fetuses with myocardial hypertrophy (MCH) presented lower gestational age (29.3 vs. 32.0 weeks p
