Wolf-parkinson-white Syndrome-current Concepts in Anesthetic Practice
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Wolf-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a disorder of conduction system of heart caused by presence of an abnormal accessory conduction pathway between the atria and ventricles. It is associated with tachyarrhythmias diagnosed by electrocardiography (ECG). The anesthetic management of these patients is challenging as they are known to develop life threatening arrhythmias. Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is a good agent for control of peri-operative dysrhythmias.
