Torsades de Pointes, Propofol, Wolff-Parkinson-White SyndromeAbstract
We describe a clinical case of a 57-year-old female patient with Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome, who, during anesthetic induction with propofol for ablation of the accessory pathway, presented polymorphic ventricular arrhythmia, specifically Torsades de Pointes.
