Overview
- Approximately 1-4% of pregnancies in the United States involve maternal cardiovascular disease.
Epidemiology in Developed and Developing Countries
- Increasing numbers of women with congenital heart disease are now reaching childbearing age.
- Congential heart disease is now the most common form of heart disease complicating pregnancy in the United States.
- Rheumatic heart disease still predominates in developing countries and in immigrant populations in the United States.
- Maternal death during pregnancy in women with heart disease is rare; conditions that are associated with increased mortality include Eisenmenger syndrome, pulmonary vascular obstructive disease, and Marfan syndrome with aortopathy.[1]
- In a prospective study of 562 pregnant women with heart disease (aged 28 ± years) at 13 Canadian cardiac and obstetric teaching hospitals, a primary cardiac event occurred in 80 completed pregnancies (13%), the most common complications being pulmonary edema and cardiac arrhythmia.[2]
