Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
To evaluate the outcome of fetal arrhythmias, serial echocardiographic examinations were made on 29 fetuses between 18 and 41 weeks gestation, including 23 with premature contractions (PCs) and 6 with complete atrioventricular block (AVB). Of the cases of PCs 43.5% (10/23) disappeared spontaneously during the antenatal period. 39.1% (9/23) converted to a normal sinus rhythm in early neonatal life, while 17.4% (4/23) had complications of either atrial or ventricular tachycardia. All with AVB (6/6) remained, regardless of advance in gestational age and continued through to the postnatal period. PCs and AVB indicate functional error and an impairment during development of the conduction system, respectively. |
