Magnetocardiography studies.

Dr. Leuthold's research involves the use of magnetocardiography to study cardiac physiology and abnormalities.

In a recent study, fetal cardiac waveform intervals were assessed from fetal magnetocardiogram (FMCG) recordings taken from pregnant women at 17-41 weeks gestation. Correlations with gestational age were found for PR interval and QRS interval. Abnormal waveform morphology was documented in several patients with cardiac malformations. See figure at left.

Another study focused on atrial and ventricular fetal heart rate patterns in isolated congenital complete heart block detected by magnetocardiography. Atrial and ventricular fetal heart rate tracings from a patient with isolated congenital complete heart block treated with dexamethasone showed a remarkable degree of correlation and greater reactivity for the ventricular than the atrial fetal heart rate. Ventriculophasic sinus arrhythmia was present continually in the atrial fetal heart rate tracings.
