Control fetuses were not ligated. Betamethasone (BM) (11.4\u2003mg intramuscularly) or saline was administered to ewes on days 5 and 6 after surgery. Ewes were anaesthetised on day 7, the fetuses were removed, and their hearts were mounted on a Langendorff apparatus. Balloon catheters were inserted into the right and left ventricles.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Outcome measures\u2002<\/jats:bold> Ventricular contractile function and infarct area following ischaemia\/reperfusion.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> The SUAL resulted in FGR (body weight 77% of control). The FGR was associated with increases in basal left ventricular pressure development and rates of contraction and relaxation. Right ventricular contraction was unaffected. Following brief ischaemia\/reperfusion, the infarct area in FGR hearts was increased four\u2010fold compared with controls. Antenatal BM resulted in a proportional increase in heart size and coronary flow, especially in FGR fetuses, and left ventricular pressure and heart rate responses to \u03b2\u2010adrenoceptor activation were increased.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> Fetal hearts rapidly adapt to FGR to maintain substrate delivery to the brain and heart. The FGR greatly enhanced the area of ischaemia, with implications for susceptibility in postnatal life. Antenatal BM treatment does not interfere with these cardiac changes but appears to increase left ventricle \u03b2\u2010adrenoceptor responsiveness, which may render the offspring vulnerable to subsequent cardiac dysfunction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2012.03309.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,18]],"date-time":"2012-06-18T02:51:29Z","timestamp":1339987889000},"page":"906-914","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Glucocorticoid
