The pediatric cardiologist now has an important role to play in fetal medicine. They are often called upon to manage fetal cardiac problems such as arrhythmias or perform fetal cardiac interventions such as balloon valvuloplasty or atrial septostomy. In these scenarios, it becomes very important for the pediatric cardiologist to understand the concepts of "fetus as a patient," "viability," etc., and their implications in management. We try to shed light on these principles through our case scenario of managing supraventricular tachycardia in one of the fetuses of a twin pregnancy.
儿科心脏病专家如今在胎儿医学中发挥着重要作用。他们常常被要求处理胎儿心脏问题，如心律失常，或进行胎儿心脏干预，如球囊瓣膜成形术或房间隔造口术。在这些情况下，儿科心脏病专家理解“胎儿作为患者”“生存能力”等概念及其在管理中的意义变得非常重要。我们试图通过双胎妊娠中一个胎儿室上性心动过速的病例场景来阐明这些原则。
