Interpretation of the electronic fetal heart rate during labor.

Electronic fetal heart rate monitoring is commonly used to assess fetal well-being during labor. Although detection of fetal compromise is one benefit of fetal monitoring, there are also risks, including false-positive tests that may result in unnecessary surgical intervention. Since variable and inconsistent interpretation of fetal heart rate tracings may affect management, a systematic approach to interpreting the patterns is important. The fetal heart rate undergoes constant and minute adjustments in response to the fetal environment and stimuli. Fetal heart rate patterns are classified as reassuring, nonreassuring or ominous. Nonreassuring patterns such as fetal tachycardia, bradycardia and late decelerations with good short-term variability require intervention to rule out fetal acidosis. Ominous patterns require emergency intrauterine fetal resuscitation and immediate delivery. Differentiating between a reassuring and nonreassuring fetal heart rate pattern is the essence of accurate interpretation, which is essential to guide appropriate triage decisions.

Future of bradyarrhythmia therapy systems: automaticity.

Since the first fixed-rate ventricular pacemaker was introduced in the late 1950s, pacing systems have evolved rapidly. Current developments focus on making devices more sophisticated and less complex--a challenging combination. Automaticity features such as beat-by-beat capture verification, sensitivity threshold adaptation, and algorithms to govern dynamically the maximum sensor rate have either recently been introduced or are likely to be introduced in the near future. Technologic advances are likely to allow meaningful improvements in current drain, battery performance, memory capacity, signal processing, telemetry, and programmer interface. Bradyarrhythmia therapy devices of the future promise to go beyond the pacemaker. Ultimately, pacing systems will become part of integrated cardiac rhythm management systems.

Deceleration-dependent shortening of the QT interval: a new electrocardiographic phenomenon?

In clinical cardiology, deceleration-dependent QT interval shortening is considered to be an extraordinary electrocardiographic phenomenon. We present an early premature born 4-year-old African-American girl with complications related to her premature birth, developmental delay, and several episodes of cardiac arrest. An episode of severe transient bradyarrhythmia was documented on Holter monitoring. The unique feature of the rhythm strips was paradoxical gradual shortening of the QT interval to 216 ms with accompanying transient T-waves abnormalities. The activation of the Ik, ACh due to an unusually high vagal discharge to the heart is proposed as a possible mechanism responsible for both slowing of the heart rate and shortening of the QT interval.
