Abstract
Palpitations: frequent reason for referral to a cardiologist. Arrythmia: rare, mostly benign. Premature extra-beats and sustained tachy-arrhythmias: more frequent or revealed during pregnancy. Hemodynamic changes in expectant women favor an environment conducive to arrhythmogenesis. AF and flutter: very rare unless structural heart disease or hyperthyroidism. Drugs: careful monitoring of the patient and dose adjustments. Cardioversion: only in case of severe symptoms or hemodynamically unstable.
