Objective: The development of the left cardiac structures in the early life of small for gestational age (SGA) preterm infants has been inadequately studied. The aim of the study was to compare the left ventricular cardiac dimensions between SGA and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) preterm infants.Methods: Echocardiography was performed on day 2 (T1) and at age 1 month (T2) in 19 SGA preterm infants (birth-weight
