Low Baseline Fetal Heart Rate Leads to Diagnosis of Long QT Syndrome Type 1

A low baseline fetal heart rate at 20 weeks’ gestation was detected in a fetus without cardiac structural anomalies. Fetal echocardiography and magnetocardiography were used to diagnose congenital long QT syndrome. It was confirmed in the neonate, and the same pathogenic variant in KCNQ1 was subsequ...

description A low baseline fetal heart rate at 20 weeks’ gestation was detected in a fetus without cardiac structural anomalies. Fetal echocardiography and magnetocardiography were used to diagnose congenital long QT syndrome. It was confirmed in the neonate, and the same pathogenic variant in KCNQ1 was subsequently identified in the mother.
