Transplacental therapy with digoxin and sotalol yielded a partial response in a fetus with tachyarrhythmia, subsequently diagnosed as junctional ectopic tachycardia after birth.

Fetal junctional ectopic tachycardia is a rare condition that should be included in the differential diagnosis of fetal tachyarrhythmia, and may partially respond to transplacental digoxin and sotalol.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Junctional ectopic tachycardia warrants inclusion in fetal tachyarrhythmia differentials; leaves open optimal transplacental therapy.
Ishikawa et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) (n=1). Transplacental therapy with digoxin and sotalol was evaluated on Treatment response. Transplacental therapy with digoxin and sotalol yielded a partial response in a fetus with tachyarrhythmia, subsequently diagnosed as junctional ectopic tachycardia after birth.
