Overview
Approximately 1-4% of pregnancies in the United States involve maternal cardiovascular disease. In fact, pregnancy can "unmask" underlying cardiovascular disease, due to hemodynamic changes associated with pregnancy. [1] With a careful pre-pregnancy evaluation, most women with cardiovascular disease can have a pregnancy with proper care.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Disorders Associated with Cardiovascular Disease in Pregnancy
Maternal cardiovascular disease includes (most commonly) congenital disease, dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, valvular disease (with as mitral valve prolapse), pulmonary hypertension, and coronary disease. Other cardiovascular problems seen include cardiomyopathies, both dilated and hypertrophic, and valvular disease, such as bicuspid aortic valve and mitral valve prolapse. Less common problems include pulmonary hypertension and, rarely, coronary artery disease. Any of the above require a strategy regarding the frequency of follow-up by the cardiologist and a plan for labor and delivery.
