OBJECTIVES: The hemolysis of red blood cells due to isoimmunisation results in fetal anaemia and hypoxia leading to fetal heart failure. An assessment of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a routine practice in adult heart failure. No studies on this marker have been reported in fetal heart failure. The aim of the .....
