Pregnancy in women with congenital heart disease carries significant risks of maternal cardiac and neonatal complications, particularly in those with NYHA class ≥3, pulmonary hypertension, or right ventricular dilation.
Song et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Congenital heart disease (n=34). Pulmonary hypertension vs. Absence of pulmonary hypertension was evaluated on Adverse maternal cardiac events (OR 21.8, 95% CI 1.2-410.3, p=0.040). In pregnant women with congenital heart disease, pulmonary hypertension was a strong independent predictor of adverse maternal cardiac events (OR 21.8).
