Supraventricular Tachycardia in a Woman with Third Trimester Pregnancy and Atrial Septal Defect: A Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Emergency Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) is one of the common cardiac arrhythmias. When it occurs during pregnancy it poses a challenge to the treating physician because of the safety concern of the fetus. The basic principle of managing acute episode of supraventricular tachycardia in any pregnant woman is same as in nonpregnant and Adenosine is the first line drug therapy. We report here a case of successful cardioversion of Supraventricular Tachycardia with Adenosine in a woman with 33 weeks of pregnancy with ASD secundum and pulmonary hypertension.
