Özet
Aim: This prospective study aims to reveal whether preterm births with ART-induced pregnancies are at greater risk of structural and functional cardiac pathologies compared to the control group of preterm births from spontaneous pregnancy.Material and Methods: Between October 2017 and January 2020, 25 premature babies born by means of assisted reproductive techniques (AC) and 25 babies born from spontaneous pregnancy (SC) were included in the study. All babies recruited for the study were born at or below 34 weeks of gestational age. The groups were evaluated in terms of anatomical, m-mode and tissue Doppler systolic and diastolic functions using transthoracic echocardiography (ECHO). Results: The groups were found to be similar in terms of anatomical, m-mode and tissue doppler systolic and diastolic functions by transthoracic ECHO (p=0.156).Discussion: Early diagnosis of possible cardiac diseases is vital for pre-and post-natal management and ultimately for the survival of the infant. Studies should be focused on understanding and eliminating the pathophysiologies increasing the risk of CHD during ever-increasing ART practices.
