Key result
Maternal oral administration of digoxin and sotalol successfully controlled fetal supraventricular tachycardia, allowing the pregnancy to continue until a live birth at 36 weeks and 5 days.
Why the study?
Fetal supraventricular tachycardia can cause serious complications such as hydrops and heart failure, necessitating optimal conservative drug strategies and timing of delivery.

Conservative pharmacological treatment with digoxin and sotalol can effectively manage fetal supraventricular tachycardia and prolong gestation, though close monitoring is required to determine the optimal timing for delivery.
Cui et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Fetal supraventricular tachycardia (n=1). Digoxin and sotalol was evaluated on Fetal heart rate restoration and pregnancy continuation. Maternal oral administration of digoxin and sotalol successfully controlled fetal supraventricular tachycardia, allowing the pregnancy to continue until a live birth at 36 weeks and 5 days.
