Can pregnancy cause changes in heartbeat?
Pregnancy can have various effects on the heart rhythm, as the hormones that rise/fall during pregnancy can have effects on the electrical conduction properties of the heart. It is also possible that you have always had the substrate for the arrhythmia, and being pregnant is simply coincidental. You should be evaluated by a cardiac electrophysiologist (a cardiologist who specializes in heart rhythm issues) to be diagnosed properly. The therapy will depend on exactly what rhythm is diagnosed. You should look for a Board Certified EP, and you can search on HRSonline.org READ MORE
Are there alternatives to a catheter ablation for atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia
Ablation is the "gold standard" of therapy. It is very safe, and it is curative. The risk of a bad outcome is generally less than 1%. The alternative is life-long medication to control the rhythm. Medication does not cure it, as it is only suppressive (if it works). READ MORE
