Key result
Integrated peripartum management of a foetus with congenital long QT syndrome presenting with 2:1 atrioventricular block and torsade de pointes led to a successful outcome.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates that integrated peripartum and postnatal management can lead to successful outcomes in fetuses with congenital long QT syndrome and complex arrhythmias.
This case describes the prenatal diagnosis and integrated peripartum management of a foetus with 2:1 atrioventricular block and torsade de pointes due to congenital long QT syndrome. The unique issues related to the detection of intrauterine conduction abnormalities and ventricular arrhythmias, along with the immediate postnatal care, have been described as an interesting teaching case with successful outcome.
