Abstract:
Atrial ectopic rhythm is one of the most common fetal arrhythmias that can present during the
prenatal period. Detection of fetal arrhythmia can be made by auscultating fetal heart rate and
rhythm using a fetal handheld Doppler, and this can be done even in a resource-limited setting.
Te fnding of an abnormal fetal heart rate and rhythm should prompt early referral to a pediatric
cardiologist, as this may improve clinical outcomes. We present a case of atrial ectopic rhythm
detected in utero using a handheld Doppler.
