摘要
Eight cases of fetal arrhythmia were seen over a 3-year period. Two had atrial and/or ventricular extrasystoles, 1 had complete atrioventricular block and 5 had tachyarrhythmias - 3 supraventricular tachycardia, 1 atrial flutter and 1 ectopic atrial tachycardia. All had structurally normal hearts. Nonimmune hydrops fetalis was the initial presentation in 3 of the 5 cases with tachyarrhythmias. There were 2 deaths - a stillbirth and a neonatal death, while 2 others required neonatal intensive care. The 6 survivors have remained well and are now off treatment. The diagnosis, careful assessment and management of a fetal arrhythmia may lead to a successful outcome. The complexity of the problems experienced may warrant early referral to a tertiary centre where the overall management of the mother, fetus and neonate, may be undertaken.
