CHRONIC FETAL BRADYCARDIA: Possible Association With Hypokalemia

CHRONIC FETAL BRADYCARDIA: Possible Association With Hypokalemia

A case is presented in which thiazide-induced maternal hypokalemia was associated with a persistent FHR of 65–70 beats/min. Return of the FHR to the normal range following an in-fusion of KCI suggests that a fetal heart block might have been induced by hypokalemia.
