Key result
Maternal administration of amiodarone for a hydropic fetus with junctional ectopic tachycardia reduced the fetal ventricular rate from 170 to 140 beats/min.
Why the study?
Can maternal amiodarone administration control fetal heart rate in suspected familial junctional ectopic tachycardia?
Case Report (n=1)
Can maternal amiodarone administration control fetal heart rate in suspected familial junctional ectopic tachycardia?
Maternal amiodarone administration can be considered as a first-line therapy to control fetal tachycardia in cases of suspected junctional ectopic tachycardia presenting with hydrops.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Amiodarone may warrant consideration in fetal JET; leaves open confirmation of efficacy and safety in prospective trials.
Lupoglazoff et al. (1999) conducted a case report in Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) (n=1). Amiodarone was evaluated on Fetal heart rate and arrhythmia control. Maternal administration of amiodarone for a hydropic fetus with junctional ectopic tachycardia reduced the fetal ventricular rate from 170 to 140 beats/min.
