title: Electromechanical intervals of the fetal cardiac cycle.
abstract: The measurement of electromechanical intervals of the fetal cardiac cycle may be useful in the evaluation of cardiac status, since they are based upon sound physiological principles. Studies of EMIs in the human fetus are currently in their infancy and clinical evaluation of their usefulness awaits the development of adequate data acquisition, reduction and analysis techniques.
