Ventricular tachycardia and pregnancy

The risk of developing new-onset arrhythmia or exacerbation of a pre-existing arrhythmia is increased during pregnancy because of profound physiological and hormonal changes. The incidence of arrhythmias in pregnancy is not well-reported and especially data on ventricular arrhythmia are scarce. Arrh...
