Increased pulsatility in the fetal ductus venosus is not related to altered cardiac strain in high-risk pregnancies.

• Blood flow velocity patterns in fetal veins are considered to reflect cardiac function, but have not been convincingly documented. The aim of this study was to generate reference values for fetal cardiac strain and compare it with results in fetuses with signs of increased venous pulsatility.
