Are pre-pregnancy maternal characteristics and adverse cardiac events during pregnancy associated with late cardiac events in women with congenital heart disease?
In women with congenital heart disease, pre-pregnancy characteristics and adverse events during pregnancy can help identify those at increased risk for late cardiac events.
May aid LCE risk stratification in women with CHD; leaves open need for prospective validation and interventions.
In women with CHD, pre-pregnancy maternal characteristics can help to identify women at increased risk for LCE. Adverse cardiac events during pregnancy are important and are associated with an increased risk of LCE.
