About

There is growing evidence in the field of fetal heart rate variability revealing the fetal neurological state. Furthermore, fetal heart rate variability has shown potential as fetal surveillance in fetal growth restriction.

This study aim to investigate the association between fetal heart rate variability and doppler flow changes in growth restricted fetuses.

Enrollment: 40 estimated patients

Sex: Female

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• singleton pregnant women with estimated fetal weight below 2 standard deviations (2SD) of mean for gestational age corresponding to minus 22%. Fetal weight assessed by doppler ultrasound.

Exclusion criteria

• Fetal malformations
