To examine the clinical significance of heart rate variability in newborns of diabetic mothers.
Assessment of heart rate variability in newborns
Analysis of maternal diabetic history
Evaluation of autonomic nervous system function
Newborns exhibited altered heart rate variability
Indications of impaired autonomic nervous system function due to maternal diabetes
Abstract
Risk factors for GDM contribute to a hyperglycemic intrauterine environment, which may in turn impair ANS function in the offspring. Altered ANS activity can be assessed through measures such as HRV.
