Abstract
Introduction: The aim of prenatal care is to identify high risk pregnant in order to adopt preventive and/or therapeutic treatments. The presence of an end diastolic ‘notch’ at uterine Doppler velocimetry has been considered a predictor to pre‐eclampsia and intrauterine reduced growth. It reflects an answer expressed by a wave of high amplitude representing vascular bed with high resistance (utero‐placental circulation).
