Doppler velocity waveforms from atrioventricular valves were recorded in 20 healthy fetuses at 36--38 weeks of gestation during both behavioural states 1F (quiet sleep) and 2F (active sleep). No significant changes were found in the ratios between the velocities during early passive ventricular filling and active ventricular filling (E/A ratios) at the level of both mitral and tricuspid valves when the measurements obtained during states 1F and 2F were compared. Moreover, during state 2F the left ventricular output increased and the right ventricular output decreased, resulting in a marked modification of the right to left cardiac output ratio. Our data suggest a redistribution of cardiac output in favour of the left side of the heart during state 2F.
