Heart Problems During Pregnancy: Diagnosis and Treatment with Dr. Mohamed Osman in Mokattam
Pregnancy is a period full of physiological changes that directly affect the heart and circulatory system. With increased blood volume and heart rate, new symptoms may appear or pre-existing heart conditions may worsen. Therefore, pregnant women – especially those with heart disease – need careful monitoring by a specialized cardiologist.
Dr. Mohamed Osman, Consultant in Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology in Mokattam, provides comprehensive care for pregnant heart patients with safe treatment plans that protect both mother and baby.
Why Does Pregnancy Affect the Heart?
During pregnancy, the following occurs:
Increase in blood volume by up to 50%
Elevated heart rate
Increased stress on the heart muscle
Changes in blood pressure
These changes are normal but may pose a risk for women with:
Weak heart muscle
Narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries
Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
Chronic high blood pressure
Therefore, pregnancy follow-up for heart patients in Mokattam must be done under the supervision of a specialized cardiologist.
Most Common Heart Problems During Pregnancy
1️⃣ Palpitations
Feeling of rapid or irregular heartbeat, which may be mild or require evaluation with a 24- or 48-hour Holter monitor.
2️⃣ Shortness of Breath
It can be normal during pregnancy, but if severe or accompanied by foot swelling, it may indicate weakened heart muscle.
3️⃣ Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension
One of the most serious complications that requires close monitoring to protect mother and baby.
4️⃣ Postpartum Cardiomyopathy
A rare condition but requires early diagnosis and continuous follow-up.
