Brief Summary:
Long QT Syndrome LQTS is a disease of young adults and can affect women of child bearing age Suffers of LQTS are at risk of ventricular dysrhythmias including torsades de pointes and ventricular fibrillation
Pregnancy increases the chance that any mother may have an abnormal heart rhythm or arrhythmia This chance is higher with the LQTS There are only a few reported cases of women with the LQTS having a baby in the medical literature This can make it difficult for the doctor caring for a pregnant woman with the long QT syndrome - especially should they need an anesthetic
We would like to study as many women who have had a baby who have the long QT syndrome to give us a better idea of whether there are any arrhythmias occurring at the time of delivery

Detailed Description:
This will be a retrospective analysis of all LQTS women managed at St Pauls or BC Womens who have been pregnant in the last 5 years These two hospitals both have a provincial role in the care of pregnant women BC Womens as the designated provincial tertiary maternity care referral centre and St Pauls through its provincial PATCH clinic Using the data from these two centres should capture the majority of LQTS cases in parturients in the province We will search for these women from the Department of Anesthesia BC Womens consult database the St Pauls Cardiac Obstetrical Care database and BC Womens Health Records using International Classification of Diseases - 10 coding for long QT Then after obtaining patient consent review the charts collecting data using the data entry form The cases will then be compared and any conclusions into the different anesthetic managements made
