Sinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern and severe fetal anemia. 1977

H D Modanlou, and R K Freeman, and O Ortiz, and P Hinkes, and G Pillsbury

This report describes a case of a sinusoidal fetal heart rate (FHR) pattern encountered in a fetus at 34 weeks' gestation during antepartum fetal stress testing because of maternal hypertension. Delivery of the fetus was accomplished, and the newborn was found to be severely anemic and hypotensive due to a massive fetomaternal transfusion. Some pathophysiologic mechanisms are suggested, and the clinical significance of this finding is discussed.

D004964 Estriol A hydroxylated metabolite of ESTRADIOL or ESTRONE that has a hydroxyl group at C3, 16-alpha, and 17-beta position. Estriol is a major urinary estrogen. During PREGNANCY, a large amount of estriol is produced by the PLACENTA. Isomers with inversion of the hydroxyl group or groups are called epiestriol.
