Abstract

Echocardiography documented fetal premature atrial contractions after maternal hydralazine treatment for hypertension. No signs of fetal congestive heart failure were noted, and other tests of fetal surveillance remained reassuring. The arrhythmia spontaneously subsided after discontinuation of hydralazine. A possible cause-and-effect relationship of hydralazine and premature atrial contractions has not been previously reported.
