Utility of the STIC method for diagnosing tachyarrhythmia in fetuses at 12 weeks' gestational age.

We experienced fetal tachyarrhythmia at 12th gestational week. We recorded the four-chamber view by the spatio-temporal image correlation (STIC) method with color Doppler and diagnosed short ventriculo-atrial (VA) tachyarrhythmia. The STIC method may be clinically useful for diagnosing arrhythmia at the first trimester. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
