Abstract

Authors experienced three cases of arrhythmia which were assumed to be present from their fetal lives. One of cases was congenital complete heart block with Adams-Stokes attacks who had the history of severe fetal bradycardia. The other two cases had benign supraventricular ectopic beats with spontaneous recovery within two months of age. Fetal tachycardia was observed in one case with multifocal supraventricular ectopic beats and the other case with multiple nodal ectopic beats was the first baby of non-identical twin while the other had patent ductus arteriosus.
