Supports fetal autonomic maturation assessment; hypothesis-generating for magnetocardiography in preterm monitoring, pending validation.
Does fetal magnetocardiography detect changes in fetal heart rate variability with increasing postmenstrual age in low-risk preterm fetuses?
Fetal magnetocardiography demonstrates that total power and individual frequency band powers of fetal heart rate variability increase with postmenstrual age in preterm fetuses.
