Description
Summary:	Analysis of the findings of ultrasonic examinations of the fetal heart in pregnant women with antibodies to phospholipids has shown changes in this parameter in 42% of the examinees, in 3 cases antenatal fetal death was revealed. The detected changes were of different nature, but in the majority of cases they were of a compensatory type. Marked hypertrophy of the right ventricular myocardium, whose work in the antenatal period is largely responsible for the viability of the fetus, was found.
