Abstract
Anaesthetic Management of a Case with Congenital Complete Heart Block Posted for Lower Segment Caesarean Section
Author(s):Varsha T, Vaijanath, and Chandra Sekhar CNComplete heart block in pregnancy is relatively a rare problem. It may be congenital or acquired. Congenital complete heart block may be asymptomatic. Acquired causes may be secondary to cardiac surgery, rheumatic heart disease, infectious disorders.
