Pregnancy is a remarkable and life-altering phase in a woman’s journey.

It is essential to prioritize heart care during pregnancy as hormonal and physiological changes can impact cardiovascular health.

Common Cardiovascular Changes During Pregnancy

During pregnancy, several cardiovascular changes occur to meet the increased demands of the developing baby.

Blood volume increases significantly during pregnancy to supply oxygen and nutrients to the growing fetus.

The heart pumps more blood per minute to meet the increased demands of pregnancy. Cardiac output increases by approximately 30-50% due to an increase in stroke volume and heart rate.

The heart rate increases during pregnancy to accommodate the increased workload. Resting heart rate may increase by 10-20 beats per minute.

Blood pressure tends to decrease during the first and second trimesters due to hormonal and vascular changes.

Structural Changes

The heart may undergo mild structural changes during pregnancy, including mild left ventricular hypertrophy and dilation of the heart chambers.
