The fetus with an arrhythmia may be at high risk both from the arrhythmia itself and from the condition that provoked it. Incorrect diagnosis and inappropriate or delayed treatment may further compound the hazard. Although echocardiography can specifically identify the arrhythmia, this technique requires very skilled and careful examination by a physician who fully understands how to differentiate optimally between similar-appearing but mechanistically different arrhythmias. Congenital heart disease may also be present and must be evaluated specifically. This report describes ultrasound recording techniques used to diagnose arrhythmias and includes a discussion of M-mode echocardiography, two-dimensional imaging, pulsed Doppler, and color-flow Doppler. It also differentiates specific arrhythmias--premature atrial contractions, ventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, complete heart block, and supraventricular tachycardia--and presents the optimal diagnostic tools for each.
