Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) allows the noninvasive quantification of global and regional myocardial function. Since there are changing loading conditions during pregnancy, this study aimed to determine maternal myocardial adaptation in normal pregnancy with TDI and tracking of the heart cycle.106 pregnant women, mean age of 33.4 years at baseline, prospectively underwent a total of 161 color-coded tissue Doppler echocardiography samples throughout pregnancy.
