Title: Fetal bradycardia without fetal distress: case presentation and review of the literature. Author: Webster RD, Cudmore DW, Gray J. Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1977 Jul; 50(1 Suppl):50s-52s. PubMed ID: 876543. Abstract: A case of a term pregnancy with a persistent fetal heart rate of 65 to 80 beats/min is presented. Initially this was presumed to be due to congenital heart block.
