Abstract
- This report is presented in which an asymptomatic parturient with Mobitz I second degree heart block developed high grade heart block during cesarean section under general anesthesia with enflurane. Progression of the block might be associated with vagal reflex. The event in this case suggests that the patients with pre-existing heart block may be a risk factor for development of high grade atrioventricular block during general anesthesia and surgery.
