Ictal tachycardia is the more frequent arrhythmia (14,15), but ictal bradycardias, high-grade

She underwent weekly fetal echocardiograms thereafter, and the exam at 26 weeks identified third-degree
atrioventricular block. Due to concern for sudden death ofthe fetus and hydrops, a caesarean section delivery was scheduled and performed at 31 weeks gestation.
