Key result
Among 19 pregnant women with cardiac disease, 52.6% had valvulopathies, 78.9% presented with symptoms such as dyspnea, and 73.7% had a vaginal delivery.
Why the study?
In industrialized countries, cardiac disease is a major cause of maternal mortality, made worse by significant decreases in heart function.
Observational (n=19)
No
Management of pregnant women with cardiac disease requires a multidisciplinary approach.
Supports multidisciplinary care for pregnant cardiac patients; leaves open need for larger prospective studies.
In industrialized countries, cardiac disease is a major cause of maternal mortality. The cardiac pathology is further made worse by the significant decrease in the heart function. Our work is a case series of 19 patients who have been admitted to the gynaecology-obstetrics department for the occurrence of pregnancy in the context of cardiac pathology. We report our results, along with a discussion and a review of literature. Cardiac disease is a major cause of maternal mortality in industrialized countries. Management of cardiac diseased pregnant women should be multidisciplinary.
