Fetal cardiac dysrhythmias are potentially life-threatening conditions. However, intermittent extrasystoles, which are frequently encountered in clinical practice, do not require treatment. Sustained forms of brady- and tachyarrhythmias might require fetal intervention. Fetal echocardiography is essential not only to establish the diagnosis but also to monitor fetal response to therapy. In the last decade, improvements in ultrasound methodology and new diagnostic tools have contributed to better diagnostic accuracy and to a greater understanding of the electrophysiological mechanisms involved in fetal cardiac dysrhythmias.
