About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Fetal Myocardial Performance Index in Abnormal Cardiotocography Cases in 3rd Trimester of Pregnancy and Fetal Outcome
The study will focus in evaluation of fetal cardiac function by using myocardial performance index in fetuses with abnormal cardiotocography in 3rd trimester.
Read the detailed 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.
Study Question:
In pregnant women in the third trimester with abnormal cardiotocography, Does myocardial performance index predict fetal distress accurately?
Study Objectives:
This study aims to assess the accuracy of myocardial performance index in predicting fetal distress in pregnant women with non reassuring cardiotocography in third trimester.
- Conditions
- Echocardiography
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Abnormal CTG | This group includes pregnancies that showed abnormalities in CTG. | |
| Normal CTG | This group includes pregnancies that showed no abnormalities in CTG. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Echocardiography, run by Ali Mohamed AbdEl-Halim Ali Mehanna.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Ali MA Mehanna, MSc. (+201116778899, alymehanna90@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Evaluation of the Fetal Myocardial Performance Index. (time frame: 3rd Trimester CTG, immediately followed by Fetal Echocardiography at the same set). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Aug 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
