In rare cases, they can cause heart failure in utero and at birth.īradycardia can be a sign of distress for the fetus. Usually, abnormal heart rhythms have little or no effect on the fetus. The heart rate can easily be measured and irregular heartbeats can easily be detected however, the cause of the abnormal rhythm is not always obvious.
