Abstract

The earliest reported case of fetal supraventricular tachycardia at 17 weeks' gestation causing hydrops fetalis is presented. Maternal treatment with digoxin and procainamide successfully cardioverted the fetus with resolution of the hydrops. Using this combination, sinus rhythm was maintained until term.
