Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) may increase susceptibility to arrhythmias during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester when cardiovascular changes peak. This article compares arrhythmic manifestations in healthy pregnant women and those with MVP. While most arrhythmias are benign, women with MVP exhibit a higher frequency of premature contractions and, in rare cases, ventricular arrhythmias. Regular monitoring and risk-based management are essential to prevent complications and support favorable maternal and fetal outcomes.
