Cauldwell, M., Adamson, D., Bhatia, K., Bhagra, C., Bolger, A., Everett, T., Fox, C., Girling, J., Head, C., English, K., Hudsmith, L., James, R., Johnson, M., MacKiliop, L., McAuliffe, F.M., Mariappa, G., Orchard, E., O'Brien, M., Siddiqui, F., Simpson, L., Simpson, M., Timmons, P., Vause, S., Wander, G., Walker, N., and Steer, P.J.

Abstract

(BJOG. 2023;130(10):1269–1274)The physiological changes that occur in pregnancy have been associated with new onset and recurrent cardiac arrhythmias. It is common for pregnant patients to experience palpitations in pregnancy, and most of these do not require treatment. However, some arrhythmias require treatment including medications and/or direct current cardioversion (DCCV) to restore the patient’s rhythm. In a recent inquiry into maternal deaths in the United Kingdom (UK), DCCV was not applied consistently and may have resulted in maternal deaths. This study aimed to understand practice surrounding DCCV in the UK, assessing which arrhythmias occurred and how they were treated. In addition, they evaluated outcomes associated with obstetric and neonatal health, including the use of fetal monitoring and whether there were cases where DCCV caused harm to the fetus.

Abstract

The aim of this document is to provide guidance for the management of women and birthing people with a permanent pacemaker (PPM) or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Cardiac devices are becoming more common in obstetric practice and a reference document for contemporary evidence-based practice is required. Where evidence is limited, expert consensus has established recommendations. The purpose is to improve safety and reduce the risk of adverse events relating to implanted cardiac devices during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period., (© 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

Abstract

Many adult CHD patients encounter difficulties in obtaining affordable travel insurance. We aimed to assess their travel habits and perspectives through a questionnaire. Our results indicate that many adult CHD patients use travel insurance but incur a premium due to their condition. There is an urgent need to provide better guidance to these patients on travel insurance options available to them.
