Case Report (n=1)
Intractable supraventricular tachycardia in pregnancy can be successfully managed with a combination of electrocardioversion and medical therapy to allow for safe vaginal delivery.
Case report of successful cardioversion in refractory SVT supports individualized care; leaves open need for prospective data before practice change.
