Peripartum management of pregnancy with congenital heart disease / 中国实用妇科与产科杂志

ABSTRACT

The survival rate of adult patients with congenital heart disease(CHD)has increased during the last few decades as a result of significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment.Women with CHD are therefore more likely to live to childbearing age,and to decide to have children.Compared with the general parturients,maternal risk and neonatal complications such as prematurity,intra-uterine fetal growth restriction,fetal demise,or neonatal mortality,are increased in pregnant women with CHD.How can we minimize the maternal mortality and morbidity risk and improve perinatal outcome?We retrospectively reviewed articles and documents about pregnancy with congenital heart disease,and tried to discuss it in this article.
