Perinatal management and outcome of different types of fetal arrhythmia.
C Yan, YH Yu, YSY Ou, SL Li, Y Yao... - Nan fang yi ke da xue ..., 2011 - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perinatal management and outcome of different types of fetal arrhythmia. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted among the fetuses with arrhythmia identified by M-mode and pulsed Doppler echocardiography in a? single ...
A total of 130 fetuses were found to have fetal arrhythmia. The most common arrhythmia?during pregnancy was extrasystole (n=59), followed by bradycardia (n=23), tachycardia (n=16), atrial flutter (AF, n=3), atrioventricular block (AVB, n=12) and other arrhythmia (n=17). The overall incidence of cardiac anomalies (commonly fetal bradycardia) was 9.2% in these cases. The prognosis of arrhythmia differed significantly between cases of different classifications. The type of fetal arrhythmia (P=0.024), presence of congenital heart defect (CHD, P=0.000) and fetal hydrops (P=0.008) were significant risk factors associated with termination of pregnancy.
