Inter-Electrode Pulse Wave Velocity: A Direct Method for Maternal Arterial Stiffness Assessment During Pregnancy Using Multi-Channel ECG

Nicolas B. Garnier, Marlene J. E. Mayer, Clara Becker +3

Objective: To validate a novel inter-electrode pulse wave velocity (PWV) method that measures pulse propagation between ECG electrodes without left ventricular ejection time (LVET)…

Prenatal Stress Detection from Electrocardiography Using Self-Supervised Deep Learning: Development and External Validation

Martin G. Frasch, Marlene J. E. Mayer, Clara Becker +4

Prenatal psychological stress affects 15-25% of pregnancies and increases risks of preterm birth, low birth weight, and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Current screening relie…

Measuring the time-scale-dependent information flow between maternal and fetal heartbeats during the third trimester

Nicolas B. Garnier, Maria S. Molinet, Marta C. Antonelli +2

Prenatal maternal stress alters maternal-fetal heart rate coupling, as demonstrated by the Fetal Stress Index derived from bivariate phase-rectified signal averaging. Here, we exte…

Heart Rate Variability Patterns Reflect Yoga Intervention in Chronically Stressed Pregnant Women: A Quasi-Randomized Controlled Trial

Marlene J E Mayer, Nicolas B Garnier, Clara Becker +3

Prenatal maternal stress (PS) is a risk factor for adverse offspring neurodevelopment. Heart rate variability (HRV) complexity provides a non-invasive marker of maternal autonomic…

Prenatal stress perturbs fetal iron homeostasis in a sex-specific manner

Peter Zimmermann, Marta C. Antonelli, Ritika Sharma +7

What is the influence of chronic maternal prenatal stress (PS) on fetal iron homeostasis? In a prospective case-control study in 164 pregnant women, we show that cord blood transfe…

Detection of Maternal and Fetal Stress from the Electrocardiogram with Self-Supervised Representation Learning

Pritam Sarkar, Silvia Lobmaier, Bibiana Fabre +5

In the pregnant mother and her fetus, chronic prenatal stress results in entrainment of the fetal heartbeat by the maternal heartbeat, quantified by the fetal stress index (FSI). D…

Early Biomarkers and Intervention Programs for the Infant Exposed to Prenatal Stress

Marta C. Antonelli, Martin G. Frasch, Mercedes Rumi +4

Functional development of affective and reward circuits, cognition and response inhibition later in life exhibits vulnerability periods during gestation and early childhood. Extens…

Non-invasive biomarkers of fetal brain development reflecting prenatal stress: an integrative multi-scale multi-species perspective on data collection and analysis

Martin G. Frasch, Silvia Lobmaier, Tamara Stampalija +11

Prenatal stress (PS) impacts early postnatal behavioural and cognitive development. This process of 'fetal programming' is mediated by the effects of the prenatal experience on the…
