Factors Related to Maternal Adverse Outcomes in Pregnant Women with Cardiac Disease in Low-resource Settings
Author(s): Philippe Amubuomombe Poli , Elkanah Omenge Orang’o , Ann Mwangi , et al Added: 3 years ago
Pregnancy in women with cardiac disease is associated with life-threatening complications. Although there has been progress in the field, cardiac disease in pregnancy remains among the leading causes of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity.1–3 Many studies have shown correlations between pregnancy-related haemodynamic changes and cardiac events.4–7 However, few studies have investigated… View more

Cardiac Disease after Pregnancy: A Growing Problem
Author(s): Christina Y Aye , Henry Boardman , Paul Leeson Added: 3 years ago
Historically pregnancy has been viewed as only clinically relevant to women and for the relatively brief time from conception to the puerperium. However it is now clear that events during pregnancy have much longer-term implications, particularly for cardiovascular health, both for the mother and her offspring. Pregnancy complications such as hypertension and preterm birth appear to serve as a… View more

Cardiac Arrhythmias in the Pregnant Woman and the Foetus
Author(s): Hans-Joachim Trappe Added: 3 years ago
Neither supraventricular nor ventricular tachyarrhythmias are uncommon during pregnancy.1,2 When they are diagnosed, patients, relatives and physicians are frequently worried about ectopic beats and sustained arrhythmias.3,4 One should question whether arrhythmias should be treated in the same way as they would be outside pregnancy because all commonly used antiarrhythmic drugs cross the placenta… View more

Ep 1: Women and Heart Disease
Author(s): Martha Gulati , Erin D Michos Added: 2 years ago
Did you know that CV disease is the leading cause of death in women and that women are more likely to die of heart disease compared to men? Dr Erin Michos (Johns Hopkins Uni, US) and Dr Martha Gulati (Uni of Arizona, US) join us on the inaugural episode of the ECR podcast series to discuss issues surrounding women in heart disease. Together they explore a variety of topics that are addressed in… View more

Globally, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality in women. Approximately 2.8 million women have been diagnosed with CVD in the UK.1 For many years, the presence of gender-related differences in presentation, risk factors and outcomes have been recognised. Importantly, these discrepancies in presentation and outcomes between the sexes are often associated with… View more

Risk of Complications During Pregnancy in Women with Congenital Aortic Valve Stenosis
Author(s): Els Troost , Werner Budts Added: 3 years ago
The prevalence of heart disease in pregnant women is estimated to be between 0.1 and 4%; although the prevalence has not changed for decades, the relative contribution of different types of heart disease varies according to the study population and the study period. Nowadays, in developed countries the largest group of females with an underlying heart disease consists of women with congenital… View more

Prevention & Chronic Conditions
Author(s): Maurice Beghetti Added: 3 years ago
Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are among the most common congenital malformations at birth, with an incidence of 8/1,000 live births. These defects are characterised by a heterogeneous group of abnormal communications and connections between the cardiac chambers and vessels with different haemodynamic consequences and, hence, varying need for follow-up and interventions. The most common forms… View more
