A fetal arrhythmia is an irregular heart rate — too fast, too slow, or otherwise outside the norm. It's often benign.

"This could be because, during the regular day, the moving and swaying of a person's normal actions soothes the baby and ...

Our results indicate that vector magnetocardiography is potentially useful for standardization of the fMCG waveforms and to provide a more complete and accurate analysis of fetal arrhythmias.

Our study illustrates a potentially important relationship between maternal arrhythmia and intrauterine fetal growth restriction and suggests an association of placental abruption.

What is the potential utility of the Codac (Causes of Death and Associated Conditions) classification system for perinatal deaths?

Anti-abortion laws lean on the heartbeat as a defining moment of aliveness. But at six weeks, it indicates little more than cells and electrical activity.

Fetal exposure to tobacco smoke in utero is associated with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and cardiac arrhythmias in newborns. In a novel study in rabbits, investigators provide the first ...

Fetal arrhythmia is an abnormal or irregular heartbeat pattern that can occur while the baby is still in the womb. Some types of arrhythmia ...

Uterine hyper-stimulation and fetal heart rate distress that may increase the probability of the fetal brain losing oxygen leading to neonatal encephalopathy.

New research published in the journal Chaosprovides insight into how music affects the developing fetus. By examining changes in fetal heart rate variability in response to classical music, scientists ...
