What Are the Risks of Cardiac Arrhythmias During Pregnancy?
Pregnancy induces significant cardiovascular changes, including increased blood volume, cardiac output, and changes in electrolyte balance. These changes can predispose pregnant women to arrhythmias. The most common arrhythmias during pregnancy are supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) and atrial fibrillation (AF). While most arrhythmias during pregnancy are benign, they require careful monitoring and management to avoid complications for both the mother and the fetus.
