Simultaneous recording of fetal heart rate and fetal electrocardiogram during labor confirmed the diagnosis of atrial premature beats and excluded fetal distress.
Case Report (n=1)
Simultaneous recording of fetal heart rate and fetal electrocardiogram during labor can confirm the diagnosis of atrial premature beats and help exclude fetal distress.

May aid differentiation of fetal arrhythmias from distress in labor; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
A case of antepartum fetal arrhythmia is reported. The diagnosis of atrial premature beats was confirmed during labor by simultaneous recording of fetal heart rate and fetal electrocardiogram. The possibility of fetal distress during labor was excluded by fetal heart rate and acid-base monitoring. The difficulty of reaching a definitive antepartum diagnosis of the arrhythmia and its significance in relation to fetal well-being are discussed.

Itskovitz et al. (1979) conducted a case report in Intrauterine fetal arrhythmia (atrial premature beats) (n=1). Simultaneous recording of fetal heart rate and fetal electrocardiogram was evaluated on Diagnosis of atrial premature beats and exclusion of fetal distress. Simultaneous recording of fetal heart rate and fetal electrocardiogram during labor confirmed the diagnosis of atrial premature beats and excluded fetal distress.
