Heart Arrhythmias During Pregnancy

Definition

Heart arrhythmias during pregnancy refer to irregular heartbeats or abnormal heart rhythms that occur in pregnant women. These can be caused by hormonal changes, increased blood volume, or pre-existing heart conditions. While most arrhythmias during pregnancy are benign, some may require medical attention and treatment to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby.
