Pregnancy in a case of Wolf Parkinson White syndrome and its successful outcome

Abstract

Wolf Parkinson White syndrome is a rare cardiac conduction defect through abnormal accessory pathway. Eventhough mostly asymptomatic, pregnancy increases the incidence of supraventricular arrhythmias in patients with Wolf Parkinson White syndrome. Antenatal mother with WPW syndrome underwent repeat caesarean section in our hospital under general anaesthesia with meticulous monitoring and without the development of arrhythmias by avoiding                 tachycardia due to pain and stress response. Recommended management is to prevent arrhythmias by avoiding                  tachycardia due to hypotension, vasopressors and by              adequate analgesia.
