Early sinusoidal heart rate patterns and heart rate variability to assess hypoxia-ischaemia in near-term fetal sheep.

In conclusion, absolute changes in HRV power in the first 3 hours after acute HI were not significantly related to the severity of HI. The intriguing relative shift in spectral power towards higher frequencies likely reflects greater autonomic dysfunction after severe HI. However, sinusoidal HR patterns and elevated vasopressin levels may have utility as biomarkers of severe HI. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
