Why the study?
Fetal atrial flutter can occur with structurally normal hearts or congenital heart disease, making early detection and appropriate treatment important.
Early detection and timely treatment of fetal atrial flutter can result in favorable birth outcomes without complications.
Supports timely fetal AF intervention; leaves open standardized protocols pending larger studies.
Fetal atrial flutter (AF) can occur with structurally normal hearts or congenital heart disease, including atrioventricular septal defect, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, pulmonary atresia, and Ebstein's malformation. 1 It is important to detect fetal AF early and treat it appropriately. We present a case of fetal AF that was treated timely, resulting in no associated complications. The infant was born by cesarean section at a gestational age of 37 weeks with an Apgar score of 9 and 9. The birth weight was 2860 grams. The antenatal history was positive for fetal tachycardia.
