Does maternal administration of sotalol and digoxin successfully treat fetal supraventricular tachycardia complicated by hydrops fetalis?
Maternal administration of sotalol and digoxin can be an effective treatment for fetal supraventricular tachycardia complicated by hydrops fetalis.
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most frequent fetal tachyarrhythmia. Diagnosis is established with M-mode ultrasound and/or Doppler investigation. Untreated cases may develop fetal heart failure and hydrops. Even these cases should not be left untreated - maternal administration of anti-arrhythmic drugs should be undertaken. In this manuscript, we describe a successful treatment with maternal administration of sotalol and digoxin in a fetus that developed hydrops because of SVT.
