Background: Intracardiac masses encompass a spectrum of pathologies, including tumors, thrombi, and other proliferative lesions, with left atrial involvement being more common than right atrial involvement. In particular, spherical thrombi in the right atrium are exceedingly rare. Diagnostic evaluation relies on modalities such as transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).

Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension remains one of the important types of diseases that affect maternal and infant outcomes; prenatal and perinatal ultrasound examination is an important tool for evaluating fetal development. So, this study aimed to explore the clinical value of applying fetal heart quantification (fetal HQ) measuring left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in mid-to-late fetuses to predict neonatal complications in patients with gestational hypertension.
Methods: A retrospective summary of 146 pregnant women with gestational hypertension diagnosed from August 2020 to October 2023 into JinHua Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital was performed.
