Abstract

To investigate the usefulness of magnetocardiography (MCG) in the prenatal diagnosis of fetal long QT syndrome. Fetal MCG was recorded in a case of fetal long QT syndrome suspected in utero. The literature on the prenatal diagnosis of fetal long QT syndrome was also reviewed. The MCG was performed at 36 weeks' gestation because sustained fetal bradycardia of 110-120 bpm was detected by cardiotocography. The 64-channel MCG revealed a prolonged fetal corrected QT-interval of 0.57 s. The postnatal electrocardiogram coincided with prenatal MCG. An accumulation of cases of prenatally diagnosed long QT syndrome using MCG indicates that MCG may be the most reliable tool for the prenatal diagnosis of long QT syndrome.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.
