Full description

The study will focus in evaluation of fetal cardiac function by using myocardial performance index in fetuses with abnormal cardiotocography in 3rd trimester.

Study Hypothesis:

In women with non reassuring fetal cardiotocography, myocardial performance index may predict fetal distress accurately.
