Usefulness of magnetocardiography for the investigation of fetal arrhythmias

The electrical excitation of the heart causes weak magnetic fields that can be recorded without skin contact over the body surface by magnetocardiography (MCG). Menendez et al investigated the feasibility of MCG in a clinical work routine to detect and analyze fetal rhythm disorders.
