  1. Combined electrocardiogram (ECG)-Doppler assessment of arterial hemodynamics at left and right uterine arcuate arteries and of venous hemodynamics at left kidney, right kidney and liver. Arterial resistivity index (RI) is defined as (maximum velocity – minimum velocity)/maximum velocity). RI is the equivalent to venous impedance index, which at the level of renal interlobar veins is called RIVI, and at the level of hepatic veins is called HVI. Arterial pulsatility index is defined as (maximum velocity – mean velocity)/maximum velocity), VPTT is the venous pulse transit time and APTT is the arterial pulse transit time.
