Overview

The review is dedicated to the topic of arrhythmias in pregnancy. A practical approach is emphasised and particular aspects of diagnostics and treatment are mentioned according to the most recent guidelines. The treatment of arrhythmias during pregnancy carries a number of specific problems, especially the need to consider the possible effect on the foetus. However, in life-threatening situations, this aspect should not influence the administration of the drug to the mother.

Key words:
