{Abstract}: OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate fetal cardiac output and myocardial performance index in pregnant women with idiopathic polyhydramnios and compare them to healthy pregnant women.
METHODS: Thirty patients admitted to Ankara City Hospital at 24-39 weeks of gestation with idiopathic polyhydramnios were included as the study group. Clinical characteristics, fetal cardiac output, and fetal modified myocardial performance index (Mod-MPI) were compared between the groups.
RESULTS: The combined cardiac output (CCO), left cardiac output (LCO), right cardiac output (RCO), pulmonary artery velocity time integral (PA-VTI), and aortic VTI were statistically significantly higher in the study group (p=0.003, p=0.028, p=0.002, p=0.000, and p=0.017, respectively).The idiopathic polyhydramnios group had a significantly higher Mod-MPI and isovolumetric contraction time (ICT) and a significantly lower ejection time (ET) compared to the controls (p=000, p=0.003, and p=0.023, respectively). In the idiopathic polyhydramnios group, the aortic max (p=0.009) and aortic VTI (p=0.047) values were significantly lower and the left ventricular outflow tract isovolumetric relaxation time (LVOT-IRT) (p=0.021) was significantly higher in cases where the NICU was required. According to the ROC analysis performed in the idiopathic polyhydramnios group, the optimal cut-off values of aortic max, aortic VTI, and LVOT-IRT in the prediction of the NICU requirement were (57.5, 0.089 and 41.5, respective cut-off value) (p=0.010, p=0.048, p=0.021, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: Both fetal cardiac output and Mod-MPI values were altered in fetuses with idiopathic polyhydramnios.
