ANAESTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF PATIENT WITH MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE AND WOLF PARKINSON WHITE SYNDROME FOR UROLOGICAL PROCEDURE
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 15
Abstract
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvular cardiac abnormality in the general population and is very rarely associated with Wolf Parkinson White (WPW) syndrome. These patients are prone for life threatening arrhythmias. Anaesthetics tend to change the electrophysiology of the atrio-ventricular conduction system and hence they tend to affect the behavior of the patient under anaesthesia. We present a case of mitral valve prolapse with WPW syndrome who underwent successful general anaesthesia for open nephrolithotomy
