01/01/2007 - "Data on the use of fluorinated steroids for established complete heart block is conflicting, although their use in cases where there is evidence of hydrops, poor ventricular function or both is not controversial."
12/01/2006 - "Early intrauterine treatment of an incomplete AV-block with fluorinated steroids has been shown to prevent progression of the heart block, making it clinically important to find specific markers to identify the high-risk pregnancies."
01/01/1996 - "While prospective clinical trials of fluorinated steroids in women with anti-SSA/Ro and/or anti-SSB/La antibodies is not likely to be initiated given the very low rate of CHB in these mothers, such trials in fetuses with heart block identified in utero are required before definitive recommendations can be made.
