ABSTRACT
Sustained fetal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with a heart rate of approximately 210 bpm may lead to increased atrial and venous pressures and congestive heart failure. There is no clear consensus regarding the best drug-treatment regimens for fetal SVT. However, considerable nonrandomized experience in the transmaternal treatment of fetal SVT is available with a number of antiarrhythmic agents. We report a case of fetal supraventricular tachyarrhythmia with hydrops detected at 32 weeks that was managed with combination of oral digoxin and sotalol and review management guidelines available in the literature.
