Fetal respiratory movements improve reliability of heart rate variability and suggest a coupling between fetal respiratory arrhythmia and vagal activity

Abstract Fetal heart rate variability (FHRV) reflects autonomic cardiac regulation. The autonomic nervous system constantly adjusts the heart rate to maintain homeostasis. By providing insight into the fetal autonomic state, FHRV has the potential to become an investigational and clinical instrument...
