Summary

The purpose of this echocardiographic study is to restudy the longitudinal changes in cardiac size and function during and after pregnancy in healthy women using relatively new parameters of systolic and diastolic function as well as classical measures of left ventricle (LV) function using contemporary echocardiographic machines.

We, the researchers at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, will assess diastolic function and its possible relation to shortness of breath.
