Abstract:
:The final common pathway to death in all of us is an arrhythmia, yet we still know far too little about the contribution of conduction abnormalities and arrhythmias to the compromised states of the human fetus. At no other time in the human life cycle is the human being at more risk of unexplained and unexpected death than during the prenatal period. The risk of sudden death from 20-40 weeks gestation is 6-12 deaths/1000 fetuses/year. This is equal to, and in some ethnic groups HIGHER than, the risk of death in the adult population with known coronary artery disease over the same time frame (6-12 deaths/1000 patients/year). Because only a small percentage of the United States population is pregnant each year, because fetal demise is not often acknowledged through public displays such as funerals, and finally because fetal death is culturally accepted to a much greater extent than it should be, this critically important area of women's healthcare has not had the technological advances that have been seen in adult cardiac intensive care and other areas of medicine. Fetal cardiac deaths may be preventable and the diseases that lead to these deaths are often treatable, especially if the sophistication of our modern ICU's could somehow be translated to the prenatal monitoring arena. This review article will outline recent advances in evaluating fetal electrophysiology, helping the perinatologist to better understand the nuances of fetal arrhythmias.
