AB  - Blood flow velocity waveforms (FVW) were recorded weekly from the umbilical and 
      arcuate arteries in 58 hospitalised women with a pregnancy complicated by 
      pre-eclampsia. The maximum velocity waveform was analysed for pulsatility index 
      (PI) and the results from the final antenatal examination were related to the 
      outcome of pregnancy. The umbilical artery FVW was abnormal in 36% of the 
      pre-eclamptic pregnancies, as was the arcuate artery FVW in 42%. No difference in 
      FVW was found between mild and severe pre-eclampsia. Abnormal FVW in the 
      umbilical artery was associated significantly both with intra-uterine growth 
      retardation (IUGR) (P less than 0.001) and with signs of fetal distress (FD) (P 
      less than 0.05). Abnormal arcuate artery FVW was associated with FD (P less than 
      0.05), but not with IUGR. The outcome of pregnancy was related to Placenta 
      Waveform Class, which was derived from the blood velocity on both maternal and 
      fetal sides of placenta. The results suggest that ultrasound Doppler examination 
      of the umbilical artery is a useful aid in monitoring pregnancies complicated by 
      pre-eclampsia, but that arcuate artery examination needs further evaluation.
