Abstract
Umbilical artery velocimetry using pulsed Doppler technique was carried out in 49 pregnancies complicated by pregnancy‐induced hypertension (PIH). Outcome of the pregnancies was evaluated after delivery. We found the systolic to diastolic ratio of the umbilical artery to be highly sensitive and specific in predicting abnormal outcome in pregnancies complicated by PIH. In our opinion, the pulsed Doppler technique can be a useful adjunct to other methods for evaluation of fetal well‐being in patients with PIH. 1991 Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand
