The authors analysed the blood flow in the umbilical artery determining the Stuart coefficient in 118 pregnant women. The article presents the values of the coefficient in normal pregnancies (control group). In pathological pregnancy the authors found a deterioration of the umbilical flow in patients with diabetes and intrauterine fetal hypotrophia. In case of cardiac defects and hypertension the results obtained require further evaluation based on larger clinical material.
