A case of intrauterine paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)--without heart malformations and fetal cardiac failure at the echographic assessment--is reported. After birth, the EKG of the newborn documented recurrent accesses of reentrant PSVT, likely related to the presence of a concealed Kent's bundle in the reentry circuit. Mother and grand-father of the newborn were affected by Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome. The familial occurrence of pre-excitation syndromes--with different by-passes--and the possibility of autosomal inheritance are discussed. The importance of early identification of fetal cardiac dysrythmias and/or failure by monitoring pregnancies with familial history of PSVT is emphasized. Pharmacological approaches of fetal supraventricular tachycardia, as reported by several Authors in the literature, are presented.

This report describes a 3-month-old boy with isolated left ventricular noncompaction admitted to a medical facility due to heart failure and dysrhythmia. His electrocardiogram showed a short PR interval and a normal QRS complex after abortion of supraventricular tachycardia in favor of Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome or enhanced atrioventricular nodal conduction.
