Abstract
Physiological research has now given us a reasonably complete picture of fetal cardiovascular control in late gestation, especially with respect to the responses to acute hypoxaemia. Reflex, endocrine and auto/paracrine mechanisms all play a part. This review questions how complete our knowledge is when we address the clinically important issues of the influence of gestational age, sustained hypoxia and the effects of nutrition in altering the programming of cardiovascular development.
