Informs personalized hemodynamic monitoring in late pregnancy; reinforces consensus on early rises with high individual variability.
How does cardiac output change throughout the course of a normal pregnancy?
Cardiac output increases during the first and second trimesters of normal pregnancy, but third-trimester changes are highly variable among individuals.
VANOPPEN et al. (1996) conducted a review in Normal pregnancy. Normal pregnancy vs. Different trimesters and postpartum was evaluated on Cardiac output. Normal pregnancy increased cardiac output early in the first trimester and further in the second, with widely divergent changes in the third trimester dependent on individual factors.
