RESUMEN
Umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry and conventional ultrasonographic biometry were evaluated as parameters for fetal evaluation in 20 primigravida hypertensive patients and 20 matching normotensives. Doppler parameters were the S/D ratio and the Pourcelot index. Conventional sonographic parameters were the amniotic fluid index, the umbilical cord diameter and placental thickness. The fetal outcome was judged by the fetal weight. In normotensive pregnancy, the fetal weight correlated with conventional sonographic biometry, while in hypertensive pregnancy, it correlated only with Doppler umbilical artery velocimetry
