Should pregnancy be terminated or abdominal delivery resorted to in women with serious rheumatic heart conditions?
The authors conclude that pregnancy should be continued and vaginal delivery pursued in women with rheumatic heart disease, regardless of severity.
The results justify the conclusion that, no matter how serious the rheumatic heart condition may be, pregnancy should not be terminated at any stage, nor abdominal delivery resorted to.
