Key result
Cardiac risk assessment in pregnancy helps identify and mitigate maternal heart failure, arrhythmias, and cardiac complications.
Why the study?
Increasing rates of maternal cardiac events highlight the need to identify pregnant individuals with pre-existing acquired and congenital heart disease who are at higher risk for cardiac complications.

Provides an overview of assessing and mitigating cardiac risks during pregnancy for patients with pre-existing acquired and congenital heart disease.
Rates of maternal cardiac events are increasing, highlighting the importance of identifying people with higher risks of pregnancy. Pregnancy imposes hemodynamic and hormonal changes, which can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias, and other cardiac complications. This review provides an overview of assessing cardiac risks of pregnancy in people with pre-existing acquired and congenital heart disease.
