FOR PREGNANT WOMEN-
For every 1000 pregnant women 8 suffer from heart diseases. During pregnancy scanning is done during 18-20 weeks of gestation. In this all the four chambers of the fetus and the blood vessels coming out from these chambers are tested. It is a primary test and if any problem is detected then fetal echocardiography is done. We can know the exact cause of the disease by fetal-echocardiography. In general one of the most frightening confusion among pregnant women is “If there is any need to terminate pregnancy if any heart related disorder is detected?.” The answer is a strict ‘No’. In a lot of cases the disease can be treated. For example the hole present in the interventricular septum gets closed by natural means. And if any serious problem is detected then Doctor’s will surely let patients know about it.

IN GENERAL- If the rhythm of the heart gets disturbed then that condition is called arrhythmiasis. If the heart rate gets decreases then it is called Bradycardia or Brady-arrhythmia. It may occur because of decrease secretion of thyroxin by thyroid gland. Tachycardia is the condition when the heart rate increases above 100/minute. Looking at the condition sinus tachycardia has been classified into 3 types-
Sinus tachycardia – Increase in the heart rate because of sino-atrial node.
Junctional tachycardia – Increase in the heart rate because of AV node.
Ventricular tachycardia – It occurs because of the response from ventricles.
Fire like these disease are getting oxygen by diabetes and high BP.
