Mitral A-wave transit time (Ta; ms) from the mitral valve to the left ventricular outflow tract and left ventricular isovolumic relaxation time (IRT) were studied by pulsed Doppler ultrasound in 17 appropriate-for-gestational-age fetuses (AGA, 30-39 wk) and 12 small-for-gestational-age fetuses (SGA,
