PRENATAL
Book in high risk center with Multidisciplinary approach
Routinely question and examine for S/S of cardiac failure and
anemia
Closely monitor vital signs and weight gain
Counsel to report in case of symptoms of cardiac failure
When risk of IUGR, serial USG every 2-4 wk in 3rd trimester
Anesthesiology consultation
Address future fertility desire and contraceptive plans
INDICATIONS OF HOSPITALIZATION
NYHA Class III- IV
Development of pulmonary edema,
arrhythmia's ,infective endocarditis,anaemia
Sudden deterioration in Class of NYHA Class I-
II patient
Pulmonary hypertension
NYHA Class I-II : at least 2 wks prior to EDD,
condition individualised

Management
Limit physical activity
Restrict dietary sodium ,start diuretic
β1-blocker if PAH
New-onset AF, I.V.verapamil, 5 to 10 mg, or electrocardioversion
For chronic fibrillation, digoxin, a -blocker, or CCB
MITRAL STENOSIS
Maternal mortality MS: 0-3% Lesniak-Sobelga A et al, Int J Cardiol 2004;94:15–23.
Fetal complications:Prematurity :20–30%,
IUGR 5–20% (more common with MVA<1.0 cm2)
Stillbirth:1–3% Hameed A et al.J Am Coll Cardiol 2001;37:893–899

•Increased risk of complications – MVA<2cm2
•Intervention in pregnancy if despite optimal medical treatment,
NYHA class III/IV and/or systolic PAP >50 mmHg at echo
ESC guidelines Eur Heart J 2007;28:230–268.
SURGICAL PROCEDURES
Mitral commissurotomy
Open
Fetal mortality of 20-30%
Closed
Fetal mortality2-12%:procedure of choice during pregnancy
MANAGEMENT:
Avoid decreased preload and maintenance CO: Manage on “wet” side
Mild to moderate : well tolerated, close observation
Symptomatic : limitation of activity & prompt treatment of infections
AORTIC INSUFFICIENCY
CHRONIC ACUTE
RHD Bacterial endocarditis
connective-tissue abnormalities Aortic dissection
congenital lesions.
Marfan syndrome, aortic root dilate
Appetite suppressants fenfluramine and
dexfenfluramine and to ergotderived
dopamine agonists
With chronic disease: LV hypertrophy and Dilatation
Well tolerated during pregnancy
Diminished SVR: Improve lesion
Symptoms of heart failure develop: Diuretics and bed rest
Surgery
• Severe regurgitation.
• Left ventricular ejection fraction <50%.
• Left ventricular end-systolic dimension >55mm.

PREGNANCY AFTER VALVE
REPLACEMENT
Porcine tissue valves :
Safer
Thrombosis : rare
Valvular dysfunction, deterioration, or failure common(5 to 25 %)
Less durable, and valve replacement averages 10 to 15 yrs
Pregnancy :not accelerate rate of degeneration
Elkayam U et al, J Am Coll Cardiol 46:403, 2005on
Mechanical valves :Thromboembolism of prosthesis and
Haemorrhage from anticoagulation

ANTICOAGULATION
Recommended in
Mechanical heart valves,
AF(3 wk before cardioversion≥ 48 h duration, duration unknown)
Pulmonary hypertension
RHD-MV & normal sinus rhythm with LA diameter > 55 mm,
(target INR, 2.5; range, 2.0-3.0)
Oral anticoagulation: safest approach for mother
Sillesen. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg2011;40:448–454.
Most – paramembranous
Poor prognosis
Pulmonary hypertension
Eissenmenger
VENTICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT
Prepregnancy:
Evaluate for PAH, consider repair its absence
Counsel about risk of heart disease in fetus(10-16%)
Prenatal:
Follow with serial echo(size of defect ,degree of shunt, PAH)
Offer termination in patient with PAH
Labour and delivery:
Avoid hypotension to prevent shunt reversal
Posatnatal :
Encourage ambulation to avoid risk of DVT and paradoxical
embolisation
No contraceptive restriction in absence of PAH
TETRALOGY OF FALLOT
4 features
VSD
Overriding Aorta
Pulmonic Stenosis
RVH
Corrected TOF well tolerated only arrhythmia reported
Pulmonary regurgitation:70% to 85% of patients
Uncorrected TOF: pregnancy increases L R shunting,MMR:25-50%
High risk factors
– Pre pregnancy hct > 65%, pregnancy wastage – 100%
– History of CHF
– Cardiomegaly
– RV pressure >120mmhg
– Strain pattern on ECG
– Oxygen saturation <80% Obs and Gynae clinic of N A2004
TETROLOGY OF FALLOT
Fetal outcome
Uncorrected TOF :increased spontaneous abortion
Live birth rate : 40%
PRENATAL
After correction, patients with PR: monitor for arrhythmias and right heart failure
Uncorrected :offer termination.
Pregnancy : Monitor hematocrit
Supplemental O2
Serial obstetric USG to monitor for IUGR
LABOR ,DELIVERY and POSTNATAL
Uncorrected : careful fluid management and maintain BP
Treat hypotension to prevented shunt reversal
Reliable contraceptive plan, with permanent sterilization
All reversible contraception : category 1 or 2 in patients with corrected and
uncomplicated TOF
