Glyphosate is a commonly used non-selective herbicide in agriculture and aquafarms. Gastrointestinal, respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms are predominant manifestations of glyphosate poisoning. Cardiac dysfunction should be kept as a possibility in patients presenting with shock, and the treatment is mainly supportive. We present such a case.

Eight pediatric cardiac centers pooled clinical and ECG data from 372 patients who survived the Mustard operation (intraatrial baffle directing pulmonary venous blood to the tricuspid orifice and systemic venous blood to the mitral orifice) for at least 3 months. The follow-up period ranged from 0.4 to 15.9 years, and the mean age at operation was 2 years. The mean resting heart rate for patients who had the Mustard operation was consistently lower than age-matched controls. During the year of operation, 76% of patients had normal sinus rhythm; this percentage declined yearly to 57% by the end of the eighth postoperative year. Active arrhythmias increased after the tenth year. Second or third-degree heart block occurred in 33% of patients during the year of operation and changed very little thereafter. Of the total 372 patients, 39 received pacemakers, 52% during the year of surgery and 48% evenly distributed throughout the follow-up period.

Simple assessment of FHR baseline variability can differentiate second degree heart block (SHB) from complete heart block (CHB). In cases of SHB, antepartum NST can be reliably used for fetal surveillance. Intrapartum assessment of FHR variability as well as accelerations is useful to select cases for safe vaginal delivery
