Abstract

The article is devoted to the description of the results of wavelet analysis of fetal heart rate detecting by cardiotocography method. A number of conclusions are made on the base of such an analysis.

It is a part of the research program of creation of a new diagnostic model estimating fetal conditions in antepartum period.
