This review provides a practical approach to the classification, etiology, evaluation, and management of arrhythmic fetal bradycardia.
Offers clinicians a practical guide for arrhythmic fetal bradycardia; leaves open prospective validation of recommendations.
Fetal bradycardia may herald fetal demise. This article highlights arrhythmic fetal bradycardia rather than bradycardia caused by perinatal distress. We briefly examine the embryonic conduction system's development and physiology and we review the classification, aetiology, evaluation, and approach to fetal bradycardia. Our aim is to provide the clinician with practical information about fetal bradycardia that enlightens causative conditions and aids management.
