“…In contrast, ICD shocks are a concern for the safety of the fetus, although the amount of energy transferred to the uterus is very small and the fetal heart has a high fibrillatory threshold. 28,31) In a few studies, no arrhythmias or ICD discharges were precipitated during delivery. 28,29) As the status of the ICD during delivery appears to have no effect on the overall outcome, in fact, leaving the device "on" during vaginal delivery is recommended, whereas it should be "off" in the case of caesarean section, because electrocautery is involved.…”

SummaryArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is predominantly a genetically determined heart muscle disorder that is characterized by fibro-fatty replacement of the right ventricular (RV) myocardium.1) The clinical spectrum of ARVC may represent from asymptomatic premature ventricular complexes to ventricular tachycardia (VT) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). It is a well-known leading cause of SCD in young adults. 2,3)There is no general consensus on the management of ARVC in pregnancy, and the preferred mode of delivery is uncertain. Herein, we report a case of ARVC diagnosed at 20 weeks of gestation following a sustained VT and treated with an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD). We also reviewed the current knowledge and approach to ARVC in pregnancy since the literature on this condition is based on case reports. (Int Heart J 2014; 55: 372-376)

“…Leki te należy stosować w jak najmniejszej dawce i przez jak najkrótszy czas. Żaden z nich nie jest teratogenny, ale łatwo przechodzą one przez łożysko [914]. Beta-adrenolityki są czę-sto stosowane u kobiet w ciąży z chorobami układu sercowo--naczyniowego (np.…”

“…13 In addition, because only a small amount of energy reaches the fetus, the risk of inducing fetal arrhythmias is small. 12,14 In later stages of pregnancy there is a theoretical risk of initiating preterm labor. There are case reports of emergency cesarean delivery because of fetal arrhythmias after cardioversion, and fetal monitoring is advised.…”
