Arrhythmias in Pregnancy

V. Petrescu, M. Petrescu,


Abstract: We present a case of atrial fibrilation in a pregnant woman (known with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) treated with direct courent cardioversion. The risk of arrhythmia in pregnancy is related to fetal hypoperfusion, with possible teratogenic effect. Termination of atrial fibrillation episodes must always be attempted in pregnancy. Also, for acute treatment of supraventricular tachycardia during pregnancy we can use vagal maneuvers, adenosine or metoprolol.
Keywords: WPW syndrome, supraventricular arrhythmia, radiofrequency ablation
