Based on the pregnancy outcomes, the prenatal cases were divided into two groups: the AS group and the false\u2010positive group. Electronic spatiotemporal image correlation (eSTIC) technology was used to measure AV and PV of all fetuses, and the AV and PV\n Z<\/jats:italic>\n scores, along with the PV\/AV ratio, were calculated, compared, and analyzed.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n In the AS group, significant differences were found between the first and second echocardiograms regarding the AV\n Z<\/jats:italic>\n score, PV\n Z<\/jats:italic>\n score, and PV\/AV ratio. In the false\u2010positive group, only the PV\n Z<\/jats:italic>\n score and PV\/AV ratio showed significant differences. In the first echocardiogram, the AV\n Z<\/jats:italic>\n score and PV\/AV ratio significantly differed between the AS and false\u2010positive groups. In the second echocardiogram, only the AV\n Z<\/jats:italic>\n score showed differences. An AV\n Z<\/jats:italic>\n score\u2009<\u2009\u22122.46 showed high sensitivity (89.5%) and specificity (100%) for AS diagnosis.
