Abstract:
Inappropriate sinus bradycardia associated with degenerative changes in the sinoatrial node has been designated as the sick sinus syndrome. Patients can be asymptomatic but often complain of palpitations and syncopal episodes. A 30 year old parturient, whose pulse rate was about 45-55 beats/min, underwent cesarean section under neuroleptanesthesia. Authors report this case with the review of the relevant literatures.
