EVALUATION OF MATERNAL CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS BY 24-HOUR HOLTER MORNITORING
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of arrhythmias in pregnant women using 24-hour Holter monitoring at the hospital of Post and Telecommunications. Results: Among the monitored women, at least one symptom related to arrhythmias was reported, with palpitations being the most common symptom (94.1%), while dizziness/syncope was the least common (11.8%). The most frequently observed arrhythmias were atrial and ventricular premature beats (over 50%), predominantly occurring in the first trimester (47.6%). The incidence of sinus tachycardia was higher in women with natural pregnancies compared to those who conceived via IVF. Additionally, arrhythmias in the IVF group were more prevalent than in the natural conception group, with p<0.05. The odds ratio (OR) was 0.29. Conclusions: The study indicates that the most common arrhythmias are atrial and ventricular premature beats, primarily occurring in the first trimester of pregnancy. The prevalence of arrhythmias is higher in the IVF group compared to those with natural pregnancies.
