Fetal bradycardia is: Usually transient, but may be important. If it persists, your OB may refer to a pediatric cardiologist who specializes in prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease & cardiac arrhythmias & to a perinatologist or fetal-maternal medicine specialist. Other causes include maternal medications, maternal hypotension &, depending on gestational age, compression of the umbilical cord.
