Abstract
A seventeen-year-old primigravida, without structural heart disease or abnormalities of serum chemistry, presented with complaints of palpit ations during the twenty-fourth week of gestation. Holter monitoring r evealed long episodes of accelerated idioventricular rhythm. The autho rs are not aware of similar reports, but this entity may be more commo n than realized because of the relative infrequency of rhythm monitori ng in this particular group.
