“…IUGR fetuses demonstrate movement to a lesser extent [29]and do not respond as well to external stimuli, and their heart rates do not accelerate like those of normal fetuses [30]. This explains the decreased average HRV obtained for IUGR fetuses compared to low-risk fetus.…”

Background Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a fetal condition characterized by growth-rate reduction. Afflicted fetuses tend to display abnormalities in heart rate. Objective To study the differences in the heart-rate variability of low-risk fetuses and IUGR fetuses during different behavioral states. Methods A total of 40 fetal magnetocardiograms were recorded from 20 low-risk and 20 IUGR fetuses using a 151-sensor SQUID-array system. The maternal cardiac signals were attenuated using signal-space projection. Fetal R waves were identified using an adaptive Hilbert transform approach and fetal heart rate calculated. In each three-minute window, the heart rate was classified into patterns reflective of quiet sleep (pattern A) and active sleep (pattern B) using the criteria of Nijhuis. Two adjacent 3-minute windows exhibiting the same pattern were selected for analysis from every dataset. Heart-rate variability in that 6-minute window was characterized using three measures, Standard Deviation of Normal to Normal (SDNN), Root Mean Square of Successive Differences (RMSSD) and Phase Plane Area (PPA). Results All three measures tended to be lower in the IUGR group compared to the low-risk group. However, when the measures were analyzed in patterns, only PPA showed significant difference between the risk groups in Pattern A, where as both PPA and SDNN showed highly significant risk-group differences in Pattern B. RMSSD did not show any significant risk-group difference. Conclusion The result signifies that the heart-rate variability of IUGR fetuses is different from that of low-risk fetuses, and only PPA was able to capture the HRV differences in both quiet and active states. The difference between these two groups of fetuses shows that the fetal-activity states are potential confounders when characterizing heart-rate variability.

“…La DMF représente un signe d'alarme annonciateur d'une MFIU imminente [6]. La DMF précéderait de deux à quatre jours voire de quelques heures les anomalies sévères de l'ERCF [13]. La PE, l'HTA gravidique et le RCIU par insuffisance placentaire sont assurément des situations à haut risque [14,20,21].…”

“…By a number of definitions, decreased fetal movement (DFM) has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as congenital malformations (84), FGR (85), preterm delivery (86), and perinatal death (87). However, not all (88) studies link DFM to adverse outcome.…”

In August 2007, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institutes of Health Office of Rare Diseases, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American Academy of Pediatrics cosponsored a 2-day workshop to reassess the body of evidence supporting antepartum assessment of fetal well-being, identify key gaps in the evidence, and formulate recommendations for further research. Participants included experts in obstetrics and fetal physiology, and representatives from relevant stakeholder groups and organizations. This article is a summary of the discussions at the workshop, including synopses of oral presentations on the epidemiology of stillbirth and fetal neurological injury, fetal physiology, techniques for antenatal monitoring, and maternal and fetal indications for monitoring. Finally, a synthesis of recommendations for further research compiled from three breakout workgroups is presented.
