Arrhythmias in pregnancy are becoming more common given more available and effective medical, ablation and device treatment options. Several changes associated with pregnancy, increased blood volume, cardiac output, and heart rate secondary to an increased sympathetic state, facilitate more frequent occurrences of arrhythmias throughout the pregnancy and during labor and delivery. We present a case of successful pregnancy in a teenage female with a previous diagnosis of CPVT, followed by a review of the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
