A member asked:
Does your heart rate go up rapidly or down during amniotic-fluid embolism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Up: Generally up because of the significant vascular response, vascular dilation and the heart trying to compensate, there is a 50% mortality and those who do not die are in the ICU because they almost died, it's horrible. If you are considering that you have this problem currently, well, you wouldn't be able to write this.
