Abstract
A severely growth-retarded fetus was monitored longitudinally for haem odynamic profiles and automated cardiotocogram analysis in the 30 days preceding death. Initially a pattern of hypoxia and moderately deteri orated cardiac function was detected. Later on, signs of progressive h eart failure developed, in conjunction with deteriorating fetal heart rate patterns.
