Fetal cardiac arrhythmias: diagnosis and management

Med Health R I. 2001 May;84(5):161-4.

Abstract

The diagnosis and management of fetal cardiac arrhythmias requires complex skills and knowledge, and has had a great impact on the care of infants with congenital heart disease and their families. Optimal benefits will be derived from a thoughtful team approach, with skillful internal communication, and especially when parental involvement is encouraged in the decision making process.
