Abstract

We examined the perinatal outcomes and right ventricular function before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and after delivery in women with Ebstein's anomaly. We retrospectively investigated the clinical course and mode of delivery and monitored hemodynamic parameters throughout pregnancy in 17 women with Ebstein's anomaly who delivered at our institution during the period of 1995-2015. Eight women, including nine pregnancies, underwent elective cesarean section, and nine women, including 14 pregnancies, underwent vaginal delivery. Elective cesarean section was performed in cases with significant heart failure or arrhythmias and in the presence of more than two of the following: cardiothoracic ratio ≥60%, moderate or severe tricuspid valve regurgitation, tricuspid valve regurgitation pressure gradient ≥35 mmHg during pregnancy. The cardiothoracic ratio and tricuspid valve regurgitation pressure gradient significantly increased during pregnancy compared with prepregnancy values. The New York Heart Association classification deteriorated from class I to class II or III in five cases during pregnancy. Although pregnancy was relatively safe among women with Ebstein's anomaly, some women developed cyanosis, arrhythmia, and heart failure,...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
