The “true” sinusoidal heart rate (SHR) pattern on the fetal cardiotocogram can be seen with a number of conditions.
Serious conditions associated with true SHR:
(1) severe fetal anemia (erythroblastosis fetalis, other)
(2) fetal asphyxia/hypoxia with metabolic acidosis
(3) fetal cardiac anomalies
(4) fetal infection
(5) cord compression
(6) pre-eclampsia or abruption
