Pregnancy with congenital heart called arithmia cordis, which is an irregular heart rhythm. A fetal arrhythmia occurs in about 1-2% of all pregnancies. A fetal arrhythmia is simply an abnormal heartbeat and can be classified as one of three types.
Tachycardia means that the heart is beating too fast. Brachycardia means the heart is beating to slow. An irregular heartbeat means that the heart is experiencing extra or skipped beats. A fetus' heart rate should be between 120 and 160 beats per minute to be considered normal and healthy.
Symptoms are, even felt before marriage is often fainted when fatigue. During pregnancy should be arranged so as not to restrict the activities of fatigue and fainting as well as make the heart rhythm becomes chaotic, because it will affect the fetal growth process.
The risk of heart disease is the occurrence of additional workload on the heart of the capital. Because when a pregnant mother, there will be an increase of about 30% of blood volume to be pumped around the body the heart of the mother and fetus should be able to reach the body.
The doctor will assess the extent to which pregnancy affects maternal heart problems-and, conversely, the extent to which maternal cardiac abnormalities affect the growth and development of the fetus. It also needs to consider the impact of the drugs the mother used to help regulate heart rhythm, to the fetus.
If the drug is consumed will affect the growth and development of the fetus, even at risk of disability, the drug should be replaced with a very mild type of risk. Furthermore, continued careful monitoring to determine the point of peak load capacity of heart that has not been tolerated, and would endanger the mother's life. At this point the doctor will do the surgery to stop the heart’s load of the pregnant mother.
In some cases, arrhythmia will go away on their own. It will not create any long-lasting effects for the baby. However, some fetal arrhythmias can reveal true health complications such as structural problems in the heart, heart disease, infections or exposure to alcohol, tobacco or drugs in utero. It is better for you to get Doppler and ultrasound exams. It can detect a fetal arrhythmia during your pregnancy. Because fetal arrhythmias can cause fetal distress or fetal death because the baby can not breathe well.
