Abstract
ABSTRACTPregnancy complicated with complete heart block is rare and usually required termination of pregnancy in the past. Improvement in medical technology in the form of cardiac pacing has allowed taking these women to term. Overall, maternal and fetal outcome is not affected in asymptomatic cases. We report here an unbooked, pregnant patient presented at 38+ weeks with complete heart block and pregnancy-induced hypertension for emergency lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). Emergency LSCS was performed under general anesthesia. Maternal and fetal outcome was good.How to cite this articleMamatha R, Sowmya MJ, Venkateshmurthy, Sahajananda H, Karthik GS.
