Our investigated collective at the Klinikum Rechts der Isar has included 4 cases of fetal extrasystoles, 8 fetal tachycardias and 5 fetal bradycardias from 1998 to 2001. Most of the extrasystoles that are diagnosed early in pregnancy, show no sonographic abnormalities and have with or without medical treatment a good prognosis. Tachycardias demonstrating as supraventricular tachycardia (n=6) or atrial flutter (n=2) have shown a hydrops in sonography. After Digoxin treatment all fetuses but one with intrauterine death had a normal follow-up until end of year one. We observed one sinusbradycardia and 4 of atrioventricular block grade 3. In contrast to the tachycardias those fetuses had shown echocardiographic abnormalities and a poor prognosis. Our investigated collective reflects in detail nearly all of the common fetal rhythm disturbances. Our results confirm the data of other reports according to treatment success and prognosis of the children.
