Title
Monitoring the fetal heart rate variations by means of time-variant multivariate analysis.
Abstract
The analysis of the fetal heart rate (fHR) is important in detecting the fetal distress related with hypoxic episodes, noticed sometimes during the uterine activity, which can severely affect the fetus. Occasional synchrony between the fHR and the maternal heart rate (mHR) was reported and the mHR shows some variations during pregnancy and labor, especially when the contractions are very strong. The current study proposes a new strategy to investigate the relations between the fHR, the mHR and the uterine activity, by applying the time-variant Partial Directed Coherence (tvPDC).
