Case report describes peripartum anesthetic management of persistent RVOT tachycardia in a pregnant woman.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the need for careful cardiac evaluation and anesthetic management in pregnant patients presenting with right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia.
May guide individualized peripartum monitoring for RVOT tachycardia; leaves open optimal strategies pending larger studies.
Arrhythmia and palpitation are common during pregnancy. Right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia, a rare cause of palpitations occurring even in the absence of structural heart disease, is uncommon during pregnancy. Nevertheless, the presence of right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia in pregnancy requires careful cardiac evaluation with a focus on managing arrhythmogenic activity while maintaining patient comfort and safety. We report a case of right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia in a pregnant 32-year-old woman, whose arrhythmia was detected 2 weeks before labor and persisted through the peripartum period.

Pimentel et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia (n=1). Anesthetic management was evaluated. A case report describes the management of right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia in a 32-year-old pregnant woman, with the arrhythmia persisting through the peripartum period.
