Summary: The association of a pseudosinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern with fetal anaemia is reported. A system of classifying this cardiotocographic feature as minor, intermediate or major is discussed. The clinical correlates of each of these gradings and the differentiation from a true sinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern are presented.
