BACKGROUND: The efficacy of maternal administration of ritodrine in cases of congenital atrioventricular block (CAVB), especially with fetal heart failure, is not yet determined.
CASE: At 21 2/7 weeks of gestation, isolated CAVB with a ventricular/atrial rate of 55-70/130-140 bpm was found in a fetus from a 30-year-old Japanese nulliparous woman with anti-SSA antibody. Cardiothoracic area ratio (CTAR) was 40% and no fetal hydrops was observed. At 30 2/7 weeks, the ventricular rate decreased to 49 bpm with an atrial rate of 125 bpm. CTAR increased to 53.8% and ascites appeared. Maternal continuous ritodrine infusion was started with rapid improvement of fetal cardiac function; increment in the ventricular rate to 57 bpm and atrial rate to 137 bpm, with a decrement in CTAR to 44.6%. Ascites also gradually decreased and by the fourth day, it had completely disappeared with CTAR of 40.2%. On the 12th day after ritodrine treatment (32 1/7), amniotic fluid volume decreased and fetal weight gain stopped, which led us to assume a worsening intrauterine environment, and cesarean section was performed. A 1,178 g male infant was born with a 5-min Apgar score of 8. Continuous isoproterenol infusion was started, increasing the ventricular rate from 71 to 80 bpm. Pacemaker implantation is under consideration to treat this infant.
CONCLUSION: Maternal administration of ritodrine not only increased the fetal heart rate but also ameliorated the signs of fetal heart failure, and thus is considered one treatment of choice in CAVB.
