Key result
M-mode echocardiography successfully diagnosed fetal ventricular tachycardia by demonstrating atrioventricular dissociation in a fetus with nonimmune hydrops, leading to infant survival.
M-mode echocardiography can successfully diagnose fetal ventricular tachycardia by demonstrating atrioventricular dissociation.
Single-case M-mode success in fetal VT suggests possible diagnostic utility; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Fetal ventricular tachycardia was successfully diagnosed and managed using M-mode echocardiography by demonstrating atrioventricular dissociation in a fetus with nonimmune hydrops. The infant was subsequently delivered, is surviving, and shows only a prolonged QT interval on electrocardiogram.
