    Pathologic fetal arrhythmias require close monitoring to prevent complications such as heart failure and stillbirth.

  • 2

    Early detection and management of high-risk arrhythmias can lead to a 90-95% live birth rate.

  • 3

    Ambulatory fetal heart rate monitoring (FHRM) is effective for detecting arrhythmias and is well-accepted by pregnant individuals.

  • 4

    Challenges in implementing FHRM programs include lack of consensus on monitoring indications and limited insurance coverage.
