[Value of amiodarone in the treatment of fetal supraventricular tachycardia. Apropos of a case].
Description of a case of supraventricular tachycardia at 33 1/2 weeks of pregnancy following a treatment with salbutamol. After failure of digoxin alone then in association with propranolol, amiodarone allowed control of this tachycardia. A baby was born at 36 weeks, his cardiac and thyrodial assessment were normal. Different problems are discussed: the part of salbutamol on the onset of the tachycardia, the limits of fetal monitoring, the use of echocardiography and the various treatments available.
