Background— Fetal tachycardia complicated by ventricular dysfunction and hydrops fetalis carries a significant risk of morbidity mortality. Transplacental digoxin is effective therapy in small percentage, but there no consensus with regard to antiarrhythmic treatment if fails. This study evaluates the safety, efficacy, outcome amiodarone for digoxin-refractory fetal heart failure. Methods Results— Fetuses incessant either (n=24) or (n=2) whom monotherapy secondary agents (n=13) were not...
The electrophysiology of long QT syndrome (LQTS) in utero is virtually unstudied. Our goal here was to evaluate the efficacy fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG) for diagnosis and prognosis fetuses at risk LQTS. We reviewed pre/postnatal medical records 30 referred fMCG because a family history LQTS (n=17); neonatal/childhood sudden cardiac death (n=3), or presentation prenatal rhythms (n=12): 2° atrioventricular block, ventricular tachycardia, heart rate < 3(rd) percentile. evaluated...
Background Fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG) is a highly effective technique for evaluation of fetuses with life-threatening arrhythmia, but its dissemination has been constrained by the high cost and complexity Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) instrumentation. Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) are promising new technology that can replace SQUIDs many applications. This study compares performance an fMCG system, utilizing OPMs operating in person-sized magnetic shield,...
Background— Using fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG), we characterize for the first time electrophysiological patterns of initiation and termination reentrant supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), most common form life-threatening arrhythmia. Methods Results— In contrast to expectation that SVT is initiated by spontaneous premature atrial contractions (PACs) terminated block, 5 distinct 4 were documented, with involving PACs. Waveform morphology timing, including QRS ventriculoatrial interval,...
Maternally administered digoxin for the treatment of fetal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) complicated by hydrops fetalis may be ineffective secondary to poor transplacental drug transfer. We present our experience with eight pregnancies treated therapy or combined maternal and direct intramuscular therapy. Response following intravenous administration (MIV) a combination (FIM) MIV is described hydropic fetuses during nine successful pharmacologic conversions. The was using standard...
