==Overview==
* Most hemodynamically important [[valvular heart disease]] during pregnancy
* Physiologic changes result in increased [[heart rate]] and [[cardiac output]] with augmentation of diastolic gradient
* [[Atrial fibrillation]] can lead to rapid deterioration
* Volume shifts during delivery can result in [[pulmonary hypertension]] or [[pulmonary edema]]
 
==Management of Mitral stenosis in Pregnancy==
 
* Restriction of physical activity and salt intake. Avoid supine position
* [[Beta-blockade]] to lengthen disatolic filling period
* [[Diuretics]] if necessary
* Consideration of invasive monitoring
* Replace blood losses during delivery carefully
* [[Mitral valvuloplasty|Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty]] can be performed during pregnancy if necessary (Class III,IV)
