Why the study?
Hard data for pregnant women with cardiac disease are very limited, and a detailed overview of ROPAC data on characteristics and pregnancy outcomes for women with congenital heart disease had not been published.
Population
5739 pregnancies from 138 centres in 53 countries with cardiac disease, focusing on CHD
Design
Prospective observational worldwide registry
