Brief Summary   This research aids in assessing fetal myocardial indices in response to chronic stress, making it a potentially earlier and more sensitive indicator of fetal compromise. The findings could help bridge the current diagnostic gap, improve fetal surveillance strategies, and potentially reduce adverse outcomes associated with undetected or late-detected fetal cardiac dysfunction. Traditional methods for FGR evaluation, such as fetal biometry and Doppler velocimetry of the umbilical and uterine arteries, provide valuable information regarding placental insufficiency but may not sufficiently reflect fetal cardiac compromise, especially in the early stages.
