Abstract
Though uncommon, Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome (WPW) can cause life threatening cardiac rhythm disorders in pregnancy. We examine a case report of a 20-year-old primigravida with WPW referred by her GP at 16 weeks of gestation. After consultation with the tertiary care cardiac treatment centre, she was prescribed flecainide (40 mg twice daily), resulting in a settling of the palpitations and chest pain. In pregnant WPW syndrome patients with tachyarrhythmia, therapeutic strategies should be based on interdisciplinary co-operation (obstetrics, cardiology, and neonatology). With an appropriate management strategy, most pregnant women will have a normal and uneventful pregnancy.
