Expected small left heart size in the presence of congenital diaphragmatic hernia: Fetal values and Z-scores for infants confirmed to have no heart disease postnatally

Anita J. Moon-Grady, Francesca A. Byrne, Leslie A. Lusk, Roberta L. KellerUniversity of California San Francisco and Benioff Children’s Hospital.United States Frontiers in PediatricsFront Pediatr 2022; DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.1083370 AbstractObjectives: In fetuses with left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), left heart structures may appear small, but usually normalize after birth in the absence of structural cardiac anomalies. To decrease […]
