ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the global sphericity index (GSI) of the 4-chamber view and correlate the results with abnormal ultrasound findings.MethodsThe epicardial end-diastolic basal-apical length (BAL) and transverse length (TL) of the 4-chamber view were measured to compute the GSI (BAL/TL) in 200 control fetuses between 20 and 40 weeks' gestation. Three hundred study fetuses were prospectively examined between 17 and 39 weeks' gestation. The GSI, Z score, and centile were computed for each of the fetuses.ResultsThe GSI (1.233; SD, 0.0953) in the control fetuses was independent of gestational age. Eighteen percent of the study fetuses (55 of 300) had a GSI below the 5th centile (
