title: [Bundle of His tachycardia and chronic reciprocating rhythm: rare forms of prenatal tachycardia].
abstract: In cases of permanent tachycardia, ante-natal diagnosis of chronic reciprocating rhythms with long RP' intervals or His bundle tachycardias is difficult. The authors report two cases of permanent foetal tachycardia with 1/1 atrioventricular conduction. In one case, the tachycardia rate was 170/min with anasarca treated by amiodarone in view of a family history of His bundle tachycardia. In the other case, the tachycardia rate was 200/min but with no signs of cardiac failure and was, therefore, not treated. The ECG at birth confirmed the diagnosis of His bundle tachycardia in the first case and identified a chronic reciprocating rhythm in the other.
