ABSTRACT

Pregnancy in women with heart disease is relatively rare and stable (about 1% of pregnancies since 1930), but is a major cause of maternal morbidity and even mortality.[1] Indeed, during pregnancy and the postpartum period, important cardio-circulatory changes occur that can aggravate heart disease. In developed countries, the distribution of heart disease has changed over the last 30 years due to improved health conditions, a reduction in the incidence of rheumatic fever and increased life expectancy, with congenital heart disease predominating.
