Description
Junhui Liu and co-authors report a 2026 case of a fast heart rhythm in an unborn baby. The condition can cause fluid build-up and death if not treated. Drugs given to the mother often fail when fluid build-up blocks transfer across the placenta. A 34-year-old woman at about 29 weeks had a fetus with a persistent fast rhythm.
Two drugs given through the mother did not control the rhythm. Fluid build-up grew and heart function worsened. Doctors then gave a drug direct into the fetal heart, which restored normal rhythm at once. No harm from the procedure was seen. Drugs by mouth kept the rhythm steady after. The authors call it a last-resort option for expert centers.
