“…During labour the direct lead allows an exact diagnosis to be made. It was initially supposed that the asphyxia was the basic cause of extrasystoles (Redman, 1958). Later, partial compression of the umbilical cord was suspected (Hon and Huang, 1962).…”

Summary The significance of fetal arrhythmia presenting during pregnancy and labour has been examined in 68 patients. The different types of rhythm disorders diagnosed included 61 extrasystoles, 6 atrioventricular blocks and 1 auricular fibrillation. Extrasystoles were not associated with acidosis or organic cardiac disease. Atrioventricular block, though not associated with fetal hypoxia, was occasionally associated with congenital cardiac failure.

“…However, there is general agreement that AV block does have organic significance. In nearly half the cases a congenital heart lesion has beendiagnosed (Redman, 1958;Eyton-Jones, 1960;Larks and Longo, 1960). However, Kendall (1967) reported seven examples of AV block without congenital heart disorder.…”

“…In most of the cases, however, the origin and the significance of these arrhythmias are not clear. It was initially supposed that the asphyxia was the basic cause of premature beats (3,9). Later, larger series were unable to detect asphyxia or acidosis (5,6).…”

A case of antepartum fetal arrhythmia is reported. The diagnosis of atrial premature beats was confirmed during labor by simultaneous recording of fetal heart rate and fetal electrocardiogram. The possibility of fetal distress during labor was excluded by fetal heart rate and acid-base monitoring. The difficulty of reaching a definitive antepartum diagnosis of the arrhythmia and its significance in relation to fetal well-being are discussed.

“…Redman (1958) suggested that in 50 per cent of cases of foetal bradycardia there may be a cardiac lesion. Hon and Huang (1962) made an electronic evaluation of premature and missed beats in the foetal heart; in 25 cases of foetal cardiac arrhythmias, 22 had disappeared at birth.…”
