Several types of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias can occur in the fetus and neonate, including premature atrial contractions, ectopic atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, and supraventricular tachycardia. This review describes the pathophysiology and corresponding electrocardiographic findings of each arrhythmia. In addition, this summary compares the clinical findings, management, and outcomes of these arrhythmias during fetal and postnatal life. The distinctive characteristics of ectopic and re-entrant tachycardias are also described.
