CTG in fetuses with CHD should be interpreted individually according to the type of CHD and conduction abnormalities. Observed abnormalities in CTG are associated with the fetal heart defect itself. Preterm delivery and rapid cesarean delivery lead to a higher rate of neonatal complications. Health practitioners should consider this fact during decision-making regarding delivery in cases complicated with fetal cardiac problems.
