Abstract:
Atrioventricular (AV) block in pregnancy is rare, but it is a serious arrhythmia that needs to be carefully managed in pregnancy. However, as of now, there are no clear guidelines or consensus for intrapartum management. Most of the time, an intrapartum AV block is secondary to hypervagatonic sinus node dysfunction and is treated conservatively. Hypervagatonic sinus node dysfunction has a heterogeneous presentation of AV block, and pseudo-Mobitz type II in labor is rarely reported. We report a case of pseudo-Mobitz type II AV block during pregnancy due to labor pain, which is successfully managed conservatively.
