Fetal Atrial Flutter: Early Detection and Treatment

Abstract

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.
