We captured the raw data of the maternal heart rate as part of another study, but would like to analyze it later to determine possible associations with pregnancy outcome.
Maternal HRV is a convinient instrument to evaluate regulatory balance that could promote control of hemodynamics. Variability (oscillations) of maternal hemodynamic processes spreads its influence through placental barrier and provide fetomaternal cooperation. Maternal sinus respiratory arrhythmia is the most valuable oscillator in the system of "mother-placenta-fetus".
