Abstract:
The congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a genetic disease related to cardiac repolarization disorder and is one of the main causes of fetal and neonatal mortality. However, challenges in obtaining fetal electrocardiograms refrained the prenatal diagnosis of LQTS. In recent years, technological advancement has assisted the discovery of several strategies that potentially increase the prenatal diagnosis rate of LQTS, such as fetal magnetocardiography, non-invasive fetal electrocardiography, and echocardiography. This article reviews the research progress in prenatal diagnosis of fetal LQTS using each of these methods.
