[Congenital cardiac disease: cardiotocographic manifestations (author's transl)].

The Authors have studied in retrospect the cardiotocographic registrations of women who had given birth to foetus affected by congenital cardiac disease. The observations of several authors (Heinriche Seideschnur; Fischer) are confirmed that persistent bradycardia in pregnancy or in labour could be a sign of a congenital cardiac anomaly. Furthermore, the high incidence of C.T.G. alterations are noticed (in the form of decelerations and significant reduction of the oscillation amplitudes) in the registrations of foetus affected by such cardiac disease.
