Managing Rare and Complex Arrhythmias During Pregnancy: A Case Study
Abstract: Arrhythmias in pregnancy are common and may cause concern for the wellbeing of both the mother and the fetus. It may be a recurrence of a previously diagnosed arrhythmia or the first presentation in a patient with structurally normal heart.Most of the arrhythmias are benign, although some arrhythmias in a structurally abnormal heart have to be treated seriously.Sinus tachycardia and non-sustained arrhythmias are common during the last trimester of pregnancy.In patients with a structurally normal heart, the arrhythmias are usually AVNRT, AVRT due to an accessory pathway, acquired long QT syndrome due to metabolic reasons or drugs. We are presenting this case due to its rarity. The patient presented with varying, at least 4 types of arrhythmias within a span of days and threw a special challenge in the management.
