ABSTRACT

Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease have enabled patients to reach adulthood thus reproductive age. In this matter, when women with congenital heart disease get pregnant, it is vital that the multidisciplinary health team includes –of course– an obstetrician, but also a cardiologist and a geneticist. Such teamwork will be able to provide a comprehensive care hence increase the chances of reaching term delivery and, moreover, the probability of reducing the rate of complications for both the mother and the fetus. It is therefore important to acknowledge the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy and the possible complications according to the type of heart disease that the mother presents. It is also responsibility of this multidisciplinary group to provide advice and guidance to terminate the pregnancy when the risk is high.
