Pregnancies in women with congenital heart disease in Madagascar are associated with high rates of maternal cardiac decompensation and adverse fetal outcomes, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary care.
Razafindrainibe et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Congenital heart disease in pregnancy (n=10). Congenital heart disease during pregnancy was evaluated on Maternal and fetal outcomes. Pregnancy in women with congenital heart disease had an incidence of 0.12 per 1000 deliveries at a single center in Madagascar, with 50% experiencing peri-gestational cardiac decompensation.
