    Abstract

    Sevoflurane has been shown to significantly prolong the action potential duration and the QTc interval. Despite this, clinical studies have shown only minor clinical effects on accessory pathway properties under general anaesthesia with sevoflurane compared with conscious sedation with midazolam. This case demonstrates significant prolongation of accessory pathway effective refractory period (APERP) under general anaesthetic with sevoflurane compared with propofol. © The Author 2010.
