The fetoplacental system was studied in 80 patients with congenital heart disease by placental scintigraphy, cardiotocography, and ultrasonic examination. Disordered uteroplacental blood flow was detected in 52 of the 64 patients, small-for-date fetuses in 36 of the 80, and chronic fetal hypoxia in 48 of the 72 patients. The authors come to a conclusion that a congenital heart disease is a risk factor in respect of placental insufficiency development.
