Provides clinical insights into the diagnosis and management of ventricular tachycardia in pregnant patients with structurally normal hearts based on two case reports.

Raises awareness of VT in pregnancy with normal hearts; leaves open evidence-based management pending larger studies.
Ventricular tachycardia although not common, can occasionally complicate pregnancy. Its presence may indicate an underlying cardiac structural abnormality, or undiagnosed congenital arrhythmic disease. However, some pregnant patients with ventricular tachycardia have structurally normal hearts. Two cases of ventricular tachycardia in pregnant patients with structurally normal hearts are presented and an approach to diagnosis and management of such patients are discussed.
