Perinatal Monitoring of Fetal Well-Being in the Presence of Congenital Heart Block

Abstract
We present a case of congenital complete heart block associated with maternal autoantibodies in which a normal labor and delivery could safely be allowed to proceed despite the absence of the usual tool of electronic fetal heart rate monitoring for fetal distress, by the technique of rupturing membranes and using a fetal scalp electrode electrocardiographic tracing to assess the fetal atrial rate.
