Intrauterine management of fetal arrhythmia / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Fetal arrythmia is a common cardiac abnormality, which can be categorized into three major types extrasystoles, tachycardia and bradycardia. Most fetal arrythmias do no harm to the fetus, but few severe fetal arrythmia, including supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter and conduction block do, resulting in congestive heart dysfunction, hydrops fetalis and even intrauterine death. Therefore, timely intrauterine management may help to improve the fetal outcomes. This article reviews intrauterine treatment strategies for different types of fetal arrythmia.
