Abstract

Women of child-bearing age comprise a large proportion of the patients followed by inherited arrhythmia clinics. Despite being a rare and dangerous diagnosis, cardiac and obstetric care providers should know that catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is not a contraindication to pregnancy. In fact, pregnancy was not associated with an increased risk of CPVT-associated arrhythmias in a recent large cohort study, and most guideline-based anti-arrhythmic drug treatments are life-saving and carry a low risk of teratogenesis. In principle, the potential for CPVT destabilization may be more likely to occur after anti-arrhythmic drugs are decreased or stopped during pregnancy, when an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shock exacerbates catecholamine release, or if adrenaline surges are triggered by labor and delivery. Therefore, all pregnant women should be followed by a cardio-obstetrics team with extensive knowledge of CPVT diagnosis, as well as arrhythmia risk stratification fand management. This multidisciplinary care should begin preconception and involve counseling on preimplantation genetic testing, choosing safe and effective anti-arrhythmic drugs, stopping contraindicated medications, optimal programming of ICDs, and planning for the brief hyper-adrenergic period of labor and delivery. The latest data on pregnancy in CPVT is reviewed here and the optimal care for this rare and complex patient population outlined.
