Fetal arrhythmia was investigated in 148 fetuses. Eight of these fetuses displayed signs of redundancy/aneurysm of the foramen ovale, all in combination with various atrial arrhythmias. At presentation 4 (50%) of these fetuses had mild to moderate congestive cardiac failure and a 5th fetus developed mild cardiac failure four weeks after observation of the aneurysm. All fetuses survived, but 2 fetuses required early delivery because of the cardiac failure. Unnecessary morbidity resulting from the possible development of cardiac failure may be prevented by regular monitoring in these cases.
对148例胎儿进行了心律失常的研究。其中8例胎儿表现出卵圆孔冗余/瘤样扩张的迹象，均合并有各种房性心律失常。就诊时，这些胎儿中有4例（50%）有轻至中度充血性心力衰竭，第5例胎儿在观察到动脉瘤4周后出现轻度心力衰竭。所有胎儿均存活，但有2例胎儿因心力衰竭需要提前分娩。在这些病例中，通过定期监测可预防因可能发生心力衰竭而导致的不必要的发病情况。
