First, we want to thank Dr Bijoy Balakrishnan, Department of Fetal Medicine, Cimar Fertility Center, Cochin, India for recently making us aware of a typographical error in our article published in AOGS.1 When discussing ventricular rhythms with a shorter time interval between two consecutive ventricular contractions (VV-interval) that systematically alternated with a longer interval (bigeminal ventricular rhythms), we wrote that this pattern could be seen in 3:1 atrioventricular block (AVB), which will result in a slow regular rhythm, instead of writing 3:2 AVB.
