Prediction of intrauterine growth retardation and pregnancy induced hypertension by uterine artery doppler


Abstract in English

To find out the correlation between persistence of uterine artery notch and development of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), and to see if Doppler assessment can help identify high risk pregnancies.
