Summary  Arrhythmias in the fetal period that cause heart failure involve increased fetal morbidity and mortality. Intervention on the fetus depends on gestational age at the time of diagnosis, type of arrhythmia, its impact, and associated risk factors.  The clinical case of a new born with hydrops fetalis due to atrial flutter is presented in the study, and opportunity and availability of treatment are analysed.
