Normal Heart Ventricular Tachycardia Associated with Pregnancy: Successful Treatment with Catheter Ablation
Background: Normal heart ventricular arrhythmia occurring during pregnancy has been previously described. Whilst there are established reports of catheter ablation to treat supraventricular arrhythmia during pregnancy, there are no reports of ablation to treat ventricular tachycardia. Case: We prese...

| description | Background: Normal heart ventricular arrhythmia occurring during pregnancy has been previously described. Whilst there are established reports of catheter ablation to treat supraventricular arrhythmia during pregnancy, there are no reports of ablation to treat ventricular tachycardia.
Case: We present the case of a 36 year old women, 31 weeks into an otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy, experiencing significant, troublesome and drug refractory tachycardia emanating from the right ventricular outflow tract.
Conclusion: We describe a successful radio frequency ablation in the third trimester of pregnancy. |
