ECG parameters in pregnancy

Normal ECG data for pregnancy, which may partially relate to changes in the position of the heart, include:

  • Atrial and ventricular ectopic rhythms.
  • Q-wave (small) and inverted T-wave in lead III.
  • Depression of the ST segment.
  • Shorter than normal, PR interval.
  • Inversion of the T-wave in the lower and lateral directions.
  • Shift to the left of the QRS.
  • The electric axis of the heart is turned to the left.
  • The heart rate is higher than normal.
