Alterations in Maternal–Fetal Heart Rate Coupling Strength and Directions in Abnormal Fetuses

Abstract excerpt

Because fetal gas exchange occurs via the maternal placenta, there has been growing interests in understanding the patterns and directions of maternal-fetal cardiac coupling. We recently reported the evidence of short-term maternal–fetal cardiac couplings in normal fetuses by using Normalized Short Time Partial Directed Coherence (NSTPDC) technique. Our results have shown weakening of coupling from fetal heart...
