Abstract
Wolf-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a disorder of conduction system of heart
caused by presence of an abnormal accessory conduction pathway between the atria
and ventricles. It is associated with tachyarrhythmias diagnosed by electrocardiography
(ECG). The anesthetic management of these patients is challenging as they are known
to develop life threatening arrhythmias. Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is a good agent for
control of peri-operative dysrhythmias.
