Development of uterine artery compliance in pregnancy as detected by Doppler ultrasound. 1986

H Schulman, and A Fleischer, and G Farmakides, and L Bracero, and B Rochelson, and L Grunfeld

Uterine artery velocimetry was performed by means of a continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound. Serial studies were done on 12 nonpregnant and 79 normal pregnant women. Measurements were made on both uterine arteries and averaged. From the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle through 40 weeks of pregnancy, four developmental phases are described. These changes are based on the calculation of the systolic-diastolic ratio and the disappearance of the early diastolic notch in the velocity wave. The ratio after 26 weeks averaged 2 +/- 0.3. These data provide a foundation for the study of pregnancies in which these normal evolutionary changes do not occur.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008597 Menstrual Cycle The period from onset of one menstrual bleeding (MENSTRUATION) to the next in an ovulating woman or female primate. The menstrual cycle is regulated by endocrine interactions of the HYPOTHALAMUS; the PITUITARY GLAND; the ovaries; and the genital tract. The menstrual cycle is divided by OVULATION into two phases. Based on the endocrine status of the OVARY, there is a FOLLICULAR PHASE and a LUTEAL PHASE. Based on the response in the ENDOMETRIUM, the menstrual cycle is divided into a proliferative and a secretory phase.

D014599 Uterus The hollow thick-walled muscular organ in the female PELVIS. It consists of the fundus which is the site of EMBRYO IMPLANTATION and FETAL DEVELOPMENT. Beyond the isthmus at the perineal end of fundus, is CERVIX UTERI (the neck) opening into VAGINA. Beyond the isthmi at the upper abdominal end of fundus, are the FALLOPIAN TUBES.
