  1. N: the number of fetal echocardiography results of 11 DM and 48 GDM mothers and HbA1c data was not available for one GDM woman
  2. LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle; GSI, global spherical index; ED, end-diastole; ES, end-systole; 4CV, 4 chamber view. FAC, fractional area change; EF, ejection fraction; SV, stroke volume; CO, cardiac output; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c. LDL-Cholesterol: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. BMI, Body mass index
  3. R: Spearman correlation coefficient P < 0.05 was considered significant
