Clinical Role of the Noninvasive Abdominal Fetal ECG in the Detection and Monitoring of Fetal Tachycardia
We have shown that rhythm strips of fECG signals can be extracted and correctly identify the electrical mechanism of arrhythmia in cases of fetal tachycardia. The potential to monitor fetal heart rate over a prolonged period is an advantage over current monitoring strategies for documentation of intermittent arrhythmias and gauging the response to medical therapy. These data will enable research to focus on improvement in signal quality, assessment of other arrhythmia subtypes, and real-time ambulatory monitoring of the fetal rhythm.
