Optimisation of an Algorithm for Fetal Strain by CMR and its Use in Suspected Coarctation of the Aorta

Abstract Prenatal diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) remains challenging, with low detection rates and high false positive rates. It is unknown whether fetuses that develop postnatal CoA (true CoA) exhibit impaired ventricular strain prenatally or whether fetal cardiac m...
