title: [Myocardial contractility in pregnant women with arterial hypotension and its effect on the functional status of the fetus].
abstract: This paper reports echocardiographic data of 135 women with hypotension-complicated and normal pregnancies. The fetal status was examined with real-time ultrasonographic scanning. The most prominent central hemodynamic abnormalities in mothers were found to occur in gestational periods when maximal numbers of signs were first identified indicative of an underweight fetus. It was concluded that early correction of cardiovascular function is needed in hypotensive pregnant women as a requirement for a normal fetal development.
