May support fetal magnetocardiography for select heart block cases; leaves open routine use pending larger validation.
Case Report (n=1)
Fetal magnetocardiography can successfully detect independent P-waves and QRS complexes in fetal complete heart block, though its utility depends on fetal heart position and size.
Hosono et al. (2000) conducted a case report in Fetal complete heart block (n=1). Fetal magnetocardiograms (FMCGs) was evaluated on Detection of fetal P-waves and QRS complexes. Fetal magnetocardiography successfully recorded independent fetal P-waves and QRS complexes in a fetus with complete heart block.
