  • Title: Ultrasound recognition and treatment of fetal supraventricular tachycardia with hydrops: a case report.
    Author: Chang CL, Chao AS, Wu CD, Lien R, Cheng PJ.
    Journal: Changgeng Yi Xue Za Zhi; 1998 Jun; 21(2):217-21. PubMed ID: 9729659.
    Abstract:
    To manage fetal tachyarrhythmia induced hydrops, both a correct diagnosis and adequate intrauterine therapy are fundamentally important. We present a 32-week-gestational-age hydropic fetus with supraventricular tachycardia who responded dramatically after transplacental administration of high dose digoxin (1 mg intravenously daily). The baby was born at 36 weeks' gestation followed by a successful postnatal conversion. Prenatal fetal echocardiography is emphasized in determining appropriate treatment and monitoring fetal well-being which in this case resulted in a good outcome.
