Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2024; 103:1457-1465. [PMID: 38597240 PMCID: PMC11168262 DOI: 10.1111/aogs.14841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Women with cardiovascular disease may be at increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). We aimed to: (1) Investigate the occurrence of HDP in a cohort of pregnant women with cardiovascular disease and compare it with the occurrence in the general population. (2) Assess the association between maternal cardiovascular risk and risk of HDP. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed clinical data on a cohort of 901 pregnancies among 708 women with cardiovascular disease who were followed at the National Unit for Pregnancy and Heart Disease and gave birth at Oslo University Hospital between 2003 and 2018. The exposure under study was maternal cardiovascular risk, classified as low, moderate, or high based on a modified classification by the World Health Organization. The main outcome of interest was HDP, which included pre-eclampsia and gestational hypertension. The proportion of HDP cases in the general population in the same period was extracted from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. We used logistic regression to estimate crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) of HDP, with associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs), for women with moderate- and high cardiovascular risk compared to women with low risk. RESULTS The occurrence of HDP in the study cohort was 12.1% (95% CI: 10.0%-14.4%) and varied between 8.7% (95% CI: 6.5%-11.3%) in the low-risk group, 15.7% (95% CI: 11.1%-21.4%) in the moderate-risk group, and 22.2% (95% CI: 15.1%-30.8%) in the high-risk group. By contrast, the nationwide occurrence of HDP was 5.1% (95% CI: 5.1%-5.2%). In the study cohort, the proportions of pregnancies with gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia were similar (6.3% and 5.8%, respectively). Compared to pregnancies with low cardiovascular risk, the adjusted OR of HDP was 2.04 (95% CI: 1.21-3.44) in the moderate-risk group and 2.99 (95% CI: 1.73-5.18) in the high-risk group. CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of hypertensive disease of pregnancy in the study cohort was more than doubled compared to the general population in Norway. The risk of HDP increased with maternal cardiovascular risk group. We recommend taking into account maternal cardiovascular risk group when assessing risk and prophylaxis of HDP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to compare the perinatal outcomes of pregnant women with heart disease and a healthy pregnant control group, as well as the maternal and newborn outcomes of pregnant women with congenital heart disease and acquired heart disease. MATERIAL METHOD Pregnant women with heart disease and healthy control pregnant women were included in this retrospective study. Sociodemographic data of all patients included in the study were obtained from electronic records. Perinatal outcomes of all patients were compared. RESULTS A total of 258 pregnant women were included in the study. While 129 pregnant women were diagnosed with heart disease, 129 patients were low-risk pregnant women. Preeclampsia (p=0.004) and cesarean section (p=0.01) rates were higher in pregnant women with heart disease compared to healthy pregnant women. Compared with healthy pregnant women, pregnant women with heart disease had a lower birth weight (p=0.003), a higher fetal growth restriction (FGR) rate (p=0.036), lower birth percentiles (p=0.002), a lower 5-minute APGAR (p=0.0001), a higher neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission rate (p=0.001), and a longer NICU stay rate (p=0.001). The mean gestational age at birth of pregnant women with congenital heart disease was higher than that of those with acquired heart disease (p=0.017). CONCLUSION It was observed that all maternal heart diseases were associated with adverse perinatal outcomes compared to healthy pregnant women. In this series, perinatal adverse outcomes of pregnant women with congenital and acquired heart disease did not differ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES cardiovascular changes during pregnancy carry greater risk in heart disease. We analyze cardiovascular, obstetric and perinatal adverse effects associated with congenital and acquired heart disease during pregnancy and postpartum. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-sectional and retrospective study, which included the 2017-2023 registry of pregnant or postpartum patients hospitalised with diagnosis of congenital or acquired heart disease. Adverse events (heart failure, stroke, acute pulmonary edema, maternal death, obstetric haemorrhage, prematurity and perinatal death) were compared with the clinical variables and the implemented treatment. RESULTS 112 patients with a median age of 28 years (range 15-44) were included. Short circuits predominated 28 (25%). Thirty-six patients (32%) were classified in class IV of the modified WHO scale for maternal cardiovascular risk. Heart failure occurred in 39 (34.8%), acute lung edema 12 (10.7%), stroke 2 (1.8%), maternal death 5 (4.5%), obstetric haemorrhage 4 (3.6%), prematurity 50 (44.5%) and perinatal death 6 (5.4%). Shunts were associated with prematurity (adjusted odds ratio 4; 95% CI: 1.5-10, p = 0.006). Peripartum cardiomyopathy represented higher risk of pulmonary edema (adjusted OR 34; 95% CI: 6-194, p = 0.001) and heart failure (adjusted OR 16; 95% CI: 3-84, p = 0.001). An increased risk of obstetric haemorrhage was observed in patients with prosthetic valves (adjusted OR 30; 95% CI: 1.5-616, p = 0.025) and with the use of acetylsalicylic acid (adjusted OR 14; 95% CI: 1.2-16, p = 0.030). Furthermore, the latter was associated with perinatal death (adjusted OR 9; 95% CI: 1.4-68, p = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS severe complications were found during pregnancy and postpartum in patients with heart disease, which is why preconception evaluation and close surveillance are vital.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are increasingly pursuing pregnancy, highlighting the need for data on late cardiovascular events (more than 6 months after delivery). We aimed to determine the incidence of late cardiovascular events in postpartum patients with CHD and evaluate the accuracy of the existing risk scores in predicting these events. STUDY DESIGN We identified patients with CHD who delivered between 2008 and 2020 at a tertiary centre and had follow-up data for greater than 6 months post partum. Late cardiovascular events were defined as heart failure, arrhythmia, thromboembolic events, endocarditis, urgent cardiovascular interventions or death. Survival analysis and Cox proportional model were used to estimate the incidence of late cardiovascular events and determine the hazard ratio of factors associated with these events. RESULTS Of 117 patients, 19% had 36 late cardiovascular events over a median follow-up of 3.8 years. Annual incidence of any late cardiovascular event was 5.7%. Hazards of late cardiovascular events were significantly higher among those with higher Cardiac Disease in Pregnancy Study (CARPREG) II and Zwangerschap bij Aangeboren HARtAfwijking-Pregnancy in Women With Congenital Heart Disease (ZAHARA) risk scores and among patients with prepregnancy New York Heart Association class≥II. C-statistic to predict the late cardiovascular events was highest for ZAHARA (0.7823), followed by CARPREG II (0.6902) and prepregnancy New York Heart Association class≥ II (0.6677). CONCLUSIONS Currently available risk tools designed for prognostication during the peripartum period can also be used to determine risks of late maternal cardiovascular events among those with CHD. These findings provide important new information for counselling and risk modification.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common cardiac disorder in pregnancy in the western world (around 80%). Due to improvements in surgical interventions more women with CHD are surviving to adulthood and choosing to become pregnant. AREAS COVERED Preconception counseling, antenatal management of CHDs and strategies to prevent maternal and fetal complications.Preconception counseling should start early, before the transition to adult care and be offered to both men and women. It should include the choice of contraception, lifestyle modifications, pre-pregnancy optimization of cardiac state, the chance of the child inheriting a similar cardiac lesion, the risks to the mother, and long-term prognosis. Pregnancy induces marked physiological changes in the cardiovascular system that may precipitate cardiac complications. Risk stratification is based on the underlying cardiac disease and data from studies including CARPREG, ZAHARA, and ROPAC. EXPERT OPINION Women with left to right shunts, regurgitant lesions, and most corrected CHDs are at lower risk and can be managed in secondary care. Complex CHD, including systemic right ventricle need expert counseling in a tertiary center. Those with severe stenotic lesions, pulmonary artery hypertension, and Eisenmenger's syndrome should avoid pregnancy, be given effective contraception and managed in a tertiary center if pregnancy does happen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of pregnancy and risk stratification in women with congenital heart diseases (CHD) are challenging, especially due to physiological haemodynamic modifications that inevitably occur during pregnancy. AIMS To compare the accuracy of the existing pregnancy cardiovascular risk scores in prediction of maternal complications during pregnancy in CHD patients. METHOD AND RESULTS From 2007 to 2018, all pregnant women with a CHD who delivered birth after 20 weeks of gestation were identified. The discriminating power and the accuracy of the five existing pregnancy cardiovascular risk scores [CARPREG, CARPREG II, HARRIS, ZAHARA risk scores, and modified WHO (mWHO)] were evaluated.Out of 104 pregnancies in 65 CHD patients, 29% experienced cardiovascular complications during pregnancy or post-partum. For the five scores, the observed rate of cardiovascular events was higher than the expected risk. The values of area under the ROC curve were 0.75 (0.62-0.88) for mWHO, 0.65 (0.53-0.77) for CARPREG II, 0.60 (0.40-0.80) for HARRIS, 0.59 (0.47-0.72) for ZAHARA, and 0.58 (0.43-0.73) for CARPREG. CONCLUSION The modified WHO classification appeared to better predict cardiovascular outcome in pregnant women with CHD than the four other existing risk scores.Clinical Trial Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04221048.

Abstract
Maternal congenital heart disease is increasingly prevalent, and has been associated with a significantly increased risk of maternal, obstetric, and neonatal complications. For patients with CHD who require cardiac interventions during pregnancy, there is little evidence-based guidance with regard to optimal perioperative management. The periprocedural management of pregnant patients with congenital heart disease requires extensive planning and a multidisciplinary teams-based approach. Anesthesia providers must not only be facile in the management of adult congenital heart disease, but cognizant of the normal, but significant, physiologic changes of pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare rates of severe maternal morbidity (SMM) for pregnant patients with a cardiac diagnosis classified by the modified World Health Organization (mWHO) classification to those without a cardiac diagnosis. METHODS This retrospective study using the 2015-2019 Nationwide Readmissions Database identified hospitalizations, comorbidities, and outcomes using diagnosis and procedure codes. The primary exposure was cardiac diagnosis, classified into low-risk (mWHO class I and II) and moderate-to-high-risk (mWHO class II/III, III, or IV). The primary outcome was SMM or death during the delivery hospitalization; secondary outcomes included cardiac-specific SMM during delivery hospitalizations and readmissions after the delivery hospitalization. RESULTS A weighted national estimate of 14,995,122 delivery admissions was identified, including 46,541 (0.31%) with mWHO I-II diagnoses and 37,330 (0.25%) with mWHO II/III-IV diagnoses. Patients with mWHO II/III-IV diagnoses experienced SMM at the highest rates (22.8% vs 1.6% for no diagnosis; with adjusted relative risk (aRR) of 5.67 [95% CI: 5.36-6.00]). The risk of death was also highest for patients with mWHO II/III-IV diagnoses (0.3% vs <0.1% for no diagnosis; aRR 18.07 [95% CI: 12.25-26.66]). Elevated risk of SMM and death persisted to 11 months postpartum for those patients with mWHO II/III-IV diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS In this nationwide database, SMM is highest among individuals with moderate-to-severe cardiac disease based on mWHO classification. This risk persists in the year postpartum. These results can be used to enhance pregnancy counseling.

Abstract
PURPOSE Nowadays most children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are expected to survive to adulthood. The healthcare focus needs to pay close attention to the important developmental tasks during their growth process. The women with CHD face some challenges in their critically developmental stages during pregnancy, delivery and even motherhood. The lived experience of being a mother need to be further concerned. This study aimed to explore the lived experience of first-time mothers with CHD. METHODS Descriptive phenomenological design was adopted. Semi-structured interviews were conducted from April-August 2018 with eleven primiparous women with CHD, who were recruited from the pediatric and adult cardiology outpatient departments at a medical center and who had a child aged between 6 months and 3 years. Giorgi's phenomenological analysis method was employed. RESULTS Six main themes arose from the analysis: (1) recognizing pregnancy risks, (2) performing self-care for health, (3) building self-worth from my baby, (4) adapting to postpartum life and adjusting priorities, (5) enjoying being a first-time mother, and (6) the factors contributing to success in high-risk childbirth. CONCLUSIONS The experiences that occurred prior to and after labor that were identified in this study can assist women with CHD to more capably prepare for and understand the process of becoming a mother, including recognition of the importance of a prepregnancy evaluation. The findings of this study can help women with CHD to better understand the path to becoming a mother, and prepare themselves for the challenges that lie ahead.

Incidence of pre-eclampsia and other perinatal complications among pregnant women with congenital heart disease: systematic review and meta-analysis. ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY 2021; 58:519-528. [PMID: 32770749 DOI: 10.1002/uog.22174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2020] [Revised: 07/28/2020] [Accepted: 07/29/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE It has been proposed recently that pre-eclampsia (PE) may originate from maternal cardiac maladaptation rather than primary placental insult. As congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated with reduced adaptation to the hemodynamic needs of pregnancy, it is hypothesized that women with CHD have an increased risk of PE. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the risk of PE in pregnant women with CHD. METHODS A systematic search was performed to identify relevant studies published in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese or German, with no time restrictions, using databases such as PubMed, Web of Science and SCOPUS. Randomized controlled trials and observational studies (prospective or retrospective cohorts) of pregnant women with a history of CHD were sought. The main outcome was the incidence of PE (including eclampsia and HELLP syndrome). For quality assessment of the included studies, two reviewers assessed independently the risk of bias. For the meta-analysis, the incidence of PE in pregnancies (those beyond 20 weeks' gestation) was calculated using single-proportion analysis by random-effects modeling (weighted by inverse variance). Heterogeneity between studies was assessed using the χ2 (Cochran's Q), tau2 and I2 statistics. Subgroup analysis was performed, and meta-regression was used to assess the influence of several covariates on the pooled results. RESULTS A total of 33 studies were included in the meta-analysis, including 40 449 women with CHD and a total of 40 701 pregnancies. The weighted incidence of PE was 3.1% (95% CI, 2.2-4.0%), with true-effect heterogeneity of 93% according to I2 , and no publication bias found. No difference was found in the weighted incidence of PE between studies including cyanotic CHD vs those excluding (or not reporting) cyanotic CHD (2.5% (95% CI, 1.6-3.4%) vs 4.1% (95% CI, 2.4-5.7%); P = 0.0923). Meta-regression analysis showed that the only cofactor that significantly influenced the incidence of PE in each study was the reported incidence of aortic stenosis; studies with a higher incidence of aortic stenosis had a higher incidence of PE (estimate: 0.0005; P = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS We failed to demonstrate an incidence of PE above the expected baseline risk in women with CHD. This observation contradicts the theory of the cardiac origin of PE. © 2020 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
Pregnant women with heart disease are vulnerable to many adverse cardiovascular events (AE). AEs during and after pregnancy continue to be important causes of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide, with huge variations in burden in different countries and regions. These AEs are classified as having direct or indirect causes, depending on whether they are directly caused by pregnancy or due to some pre-existing disease and/or non-obstetric cause, respectively. The risks continue throughout pregnancy and even after childbirth. Apart from immediate complications during pregnancy, there is increasing evidence of a significant link between several events and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. A significant number of pregnancy-related deaths caused by cardiovascular disease are preventable. This prevention can be realized through increasing awareness of cardiovascular AE in pregnancy, coupled with the application of strategies for prevention and treatment. Knowledge of the risks associated with CVD and pregnancy is of extreme importance in that regard. We discuss the global distribution of cardiovascular maternal mortality, adverse events during and after pregnancy, their predictors and risk stratification. In addition, we enumerate possible solutions, particularly the role of cardio-obstetric clinics.

Abstract
Background: The objective of this research was to evaluate the fertility of Taiwanese women with diagnoses of congenital heart diseases (CHDs). The study also investigated how different forms of CHDs may have variously influenced fertility. Methods: We directed this nationwide, population-based and retrospective matched-cohort research by using data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. The CHD group (n = 6602) included women with congenital structural heart diseases, aged 16-45 years in 2000. The non-CHD group (n = 6602) was matched according to urbanization and income. The outcomes, involving live birth, abortion, and fertility rates, were followed until the end of 2013. Poisson regression was used to evaluate the incidence rate ratios (IRRs). Results: The CHDs had an inferior rate of live births (IRR 0.74 [95% CI 0.71-0.78]) than the non-CHD group. There was also a lower fertility rate in the CHD group (IRR 0.81 [95% CI 0.78-0.84]) than the non-CHD group. Abortion rates between the two groups were similar. Conclusion: Congenital structural heart disease compromises female fertility, even among patients with simple forms of CHDs. It is suggested that pregnant patients with CHDs are early appeared to and advised personally with multidisciplinary care to improve their outcomes.

Abstract
Women with congenital heart disease are pursuing pregnancy in increasing numbers. Counseling about genetic transmission, medication management, maternal and fetal risks, and maternal longevity should be initiated well before pregnancy is considered. Although preconception medical and surgical optimization as well as coordinated multidisciplinary care throughout pregnancy decrease maternal and fetal risks, the rate of complications remains increased compared with the general population. Lesion-specific risk stratification and care throughout pregnancy further improve outcomes and decrease unnecessary interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pregnancy in women with congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated with increased risk for maternal cardiac complications. Several risk stratification models are used to predict adverse cardiac outcome in women with CHD who become pregnant. This study was set up as an exploratory study to provide a head-to-head comparison of the 4 most commonly used models: CARPREG, CARPREG II and ZAHARA risk scores and mWHO risk classification. METHODS AND RESULTS We randomly selected 100 women from the database of paediatric and congenital heart disease of the University Hospitals Leuven. Individual pregnancy risk scores were retrospectively calculated and summarized in a weighted average risk for each risk stratification model. To evaluate accuracy of each model, the weighted average risk was plotted against the actual observed number of "cardiac events" as defined in the respective risk models. Maternal adverse cardiac events occurred in 8% of our study population. Weighted average risks were plotted versus the observed number of events for each model: 10.1% versus 4.0% for CARPREG, 8.6% versus 5.0% for CARPREG II, 11.1% versus 8.0% for ZAHARA and 12.4% versus 8.0% for the mWHO classification. CONCLUSION All risk models overestimated maternal cardiac risk. The ZAHARA risk model appeared to be a closer reflection of maternal risk in our cohort of CHD patients. More research on a larger study population is needed.

Abstract
Despite advances in the therapy for pulmonary hypertension over the past decades, the prognosis of pregnant patients with pulmonary hypertension remains poor, with high maternal mortality. This poses a particular challenge for the mother and her medical team. In the present review, the authors have updated the classification and definition of pulmonary hypertension, summarized the current knowledge with regard to perioperative management and anesthesia considerations for these patients, and stressed the importance of a "pregnancy heart team" to improve long-term outcomes of pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Background Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a severe type of congenital heart disease (CHD) and it confers substantial risk to mother and fetus for pregnant women. However, the outcome of pregnancy in women with TOF has not been well studied. Methods Women with TOF who have been seen and/or delivered at our tertiary-care hospital between April 2008 and January 2018 were retrospective reviewed. Results A total of 31 pregnant women with TOF were identified during ten-year period. Among these patients, cardiac defects remained uncorrected in 12 women and were surgically repaired in 19 women. The frequency of miscarriages, premature birth, and the percentage of neonates of small for gestational age (SGA) were greater in the uncorrected group than the surgically repaired group (16.67% vs 0, 50% vs 5.26, 41.67% vs 10.53% respectively). The neonatal mortality and fetal mortality were not observed in the surgically repaired group, but were observed in the uncorrected group [3.23% (1/31) and 6.45(2/31) respectively]. Furthermore, the obstetric and cardiac complications in the two groups were stratified and analyzed. Conclusions Surgical correction of TOF is associated with improved maternal and perinatal outcome. However, pregnancy in women with uncorrected TOF was still seen and it was observed at a rate of 1.4/10,000 in our medical center during ten year period. The high degree of ventricular dilatation heart, high functional classifications, serious cardiac arrhythmias and pulmonary hypertension appeared to be associated with maternal and neonatal risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The average maternal age at delivery, and thus the associated maternal risk are increasing including in women with congenital heart disease (CHD). A comprehensive management approach is therefore required for pregnant women with CHD. The present study aimed to investigate the factors determining peripartum safety in women with CHD.Methods and Results:We retrospectively collected multicenter data for 217 pregnant women with CHD (age at delivery: 31.4±5.6 years; NYHA classifications I and II: 88.9% and 7.4%, respectively). CHD severity was classified according to the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines as simple (n=116), moderate complexity (n=69), or great complexity (n=32). Cardiovascular (CV) events (heart failure: n=24, arrhythmia: n=9) occurred in 30 women during the peripartum period. Moderate or great complexity CHD was associated with more CV events during gestation than simple CHD. CV events occurred earlier in women with moderate or great complexity compared with simple CHD. Number of deliveries (multiparity), NYHA functional class, and severity of CHD were predictors of CV events. CONCLUSIONS This study identified not only the severity of CHD according to the ACC/AHA and NYHA classifications, but also the number of deliveries, as important predictive factors of CV events in women with CHD. This information should be made available to women with CHD and medical personnel to promote safe deliveries.

Abstract
Aim of the Study To validate the new cardiac risk scoring system, Sheela's Cardiac Disease in Pregnancy (SHE-CDIP), in predicting the cardiac complications in women with cardiac disease in pregnancy. Materials and Methods The study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in South India, over a period of 5 years from January 2010 to January 2015. Pregnant women with heart disease included in this study were 102, and data was collected from medical records. Risk Score was calculated at booking according to both the new scoring system (SHE-CDIP) and the standard CARPREG scoring system. The validation was done by assessing the ability of the new scoring system to predict maternal cardiac complications by comparing with the CARPREG scoring system. Statistical Methods The validation of the SHE-CDIP score was done against CARPREG score using cross tabulation between current cardiac risk score with CARPREG score. McNemar square test was done to compare the proportion between two scoring methods. Agreement between CARPREG and SHE-CDIP risk score was analyzed using Kappa statistics, and accuracy was reported. Results Comparing the two risk scores using Kappa statistics, accuracy and good agreement were noted (kappa = 0.70). Sensitivity of 83%, specificity of 88%, positive predictive value of 86% and negative predictive value of 84% for the SHE-CDIP scoring system were noted. Conclusion The new risk score (SHE-CDIP) would be useful to stratify the risk in Indian cohort of women with cardiac disease in pregnancy as it is population specific.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess performance of risk stratification schemes in predicting adverse cardiac outcomes in pregnant women with congenital heart disease (CHD) and to compare these schemes to clinical factors alone. DESIGN Single-center retrospective study. SETTING Tertiary care academic hospital. PATIENTS Women ≥18 years with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes indicating CHD who delivered between 1998 and 2014. CARPREG I and ZAHARA risk scores and modified World Health Organization (WHO) criteria were applied to each woman. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was defined by ≥1 of the following: arrhythmia, heart failure/pulmonary edema, transient ischemic attack, stroke, dissection, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, death during gestation and up to 6 months postpartum. RESULTS Of 178 women, the most common CHD lesions were congenital aortic stenosis (15.2%), ventricular septal defect (13.5%), atrial septal defect (12.9%), and tetralogy of Fallot (12.9%). Thirty-five women (19.7%) sustained 39 cardiac events. Observed vs expected event rates were 9.9% vs 5% (P = .02) for CARPREG I score 0 and 26.1% vs 7.5% (P < .001) for ZAHARA scores 0.51-1.5. ZAHARA outperformed CARPREG I at predicting adverse cardiovascular outcomes (AUC 0.80 vs 0.72, P = .03) but was not significantly better than modified WHO. Clinical predictors of adverse cardiac event were symptoms (P = .002), systemic ventricular dysfunction (P < .001), and subpulmonary ventricular dysfunction (P = .03) with an AUC 0.83 comparable to ZAHARA (P = .66). CONCLUSIONS CARPREG I and ZAHARA scores underestimate cardiac risk for lower risk pregnancies in these women. Of the three risk schemes, CARPREG I performed least well in predictive capacity. Clinical factors specific to the population studied are comparable to stratification schemes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To define the magnitude of problems faced by patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) and to identify unmet needs for this population. RECENT FINDINGS The ACHD population is estimated to include more than 1 million people in the United States and continues to grow at a steady rate. Owing to the decline in early mortality in this group, modern medicine is now faced by the long-term complications associated with congenital heart disease such as chronic heart failure, increased endocarditis risk, elevated burden of arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension, valvular dysfunction, and pregnancy. SUMMARY Increasing access to ACHD care, evolution of imaging techniques and transcatheter technology and continued efforts at quality improvement will be key to successfully facing the challenges that are a product of the astounding success of pediatric cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Purpose To validate the modified World Health Organization (WHO) classification in pregnant women with congenital and acquired heart diseases. Patients and methods The database of pregnant women with heart disease, who delivered at Songklanagarind Hospital between January 1995 and December 2016, was retrieved from the Statistical Unit, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, along with the Hospital Information System of Songklanagarind Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University. Each patient was retrospectively classified according to the modified WHO classification of maternal cardiovascular risk. Comparison of maternal and fetal outcomes among the modified WHO classes were analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test and one-way ANOVA test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results A total of 331 cases were studied: 157 cases with congenital heart disease and 174 cases with acquired heart disease. There were 48, 173, 32 and 78 cases in the modified WHO class I, II, III and IV, respectively. Congestive heart failure was the most common complication. The overall maternal mortality rate was 3.6%, all of which were in the modified WHO class IV. Maternal cardiovascular events occurred in 24.2% of cases, increasing rates with higher modified WHO class: 4.2%, 15.0%, 25.0% and 56.4% in class I, II, III and IV, respectively (p<0.001). Adverse fetal outcomes including preterm delivery, low birth weight, small for gestational age and neonatal intensive care unit admission were also significantly increased in class III and IV (p<0.05). Conclusion The modified WHO classification is useful not only for obtaining a cardiovascular risk assessment in pregnant women with heart disease but also for predicting adverse fetal outcomes. It must, therefore, be implemented into routine care service at all levels of health care systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Membranous ventricular septal aneurysm (MVSA) is a rare cardiac anomaly that can occur as an isolated entity or being associated with other cardiac malformations. Complications of MVSA include thromboembolism, arrhythmia, rupture, bacterial endocarditis, right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and atrioventricular valve diseases.The success rate of pregnancy and delivery in patients with MVSA has not been reported in the literature. This study was to assess the clinical implications of this condition from our center's experience. METHODS This was a retrospective study for consecutive 12 pregnancies in women with MVSA, who delivered at a tertiary care center in west China between May 2008 and March 2015. RESULTS All patients with MVSA delivered via caesarian section. One patient with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension expired from pulmonary infection and heart failure after delivery. One patient terminated pregnancy in the second trimester- necessitated by cardiogenic shock. The other mothers had varying degrees of cardiac morbidity, but survived. Ten of thirteen newborns survived. Congenital heart disease and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) of newborn occurred in two cases (one twin and one single gestation). Two of these babies expired. CONCLUSIONS Maternal and neonatal risk appeared associated with heart functional classifications, pulmonary hypertension and histories of cardiac events such as serious cardiac arrhythmia. Accurate diagnosis and care by a multidisciplinary team is recommended for pregnant woman with MVSA.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of maternal death. The normal cardiovascular hemodynamic adaptations to pregnancy are remarkable, but tolerated without difficulty in the majority of women. However, in women with cardiovascular dysfunction, these adaptations may precipitate cardiovascular decompensation. Risk stratification of pregnancy risk should preferably take place before conception. Management of these women requires multidisciplinary involvement of all key areas, including cardiology, nursing, maternal/fetal medicine and obstetric anesthesia. For higher-risk lesions, pregnancy should be managed in centers with expertise in this field.

Abstract
The success of cardiac surgery over the past 50 years has increased numbers and median age of survivors with congenital heart disease (CHD). Adults now represent two-thirds of patients with CHD; in the USA alone the number is estimated to exceed 1 million. In this population, many affected women reach reproductive age and wish to have children. While in many CHD patients pregnancy can be accomplished successfully, some special situations with complex anatomy, iatrogenic or residual pathology are associated with an increased risk of severe maternal and fetal complications. Pre-conception counselling allows women to come to truly informed choices. Risk stratification tools can also help high-risk women to eventually renounce to pregnancy and to adopt safe contraception options. Once pregnant, women identified as intermediate or high risk should receive multidisciplinary care involving a cardiologist, an obstetrician and an anesthesiologist with specific expertise in managing this peculiar medical challenge. This document is intended to provide cardiologists working in hospitals where an Obstetrics and Gynecology Department is available with a streamlined and practical tool, useful for them to select the best management strategies to deal with a woman affected by CHD who desires to plan pregnancy or is already pregnant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 2011 guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) on the management of cardiovascular diseases during pregnancy define the maternal predictors for neonatal complications. The aim of this study was to determine whether these are associated with an increased number of miscarriages/stillbirths and terminations of pregnancy (TOPs) also in patients with congenital heart defects (CHD). METHODS AND RESULTS The 634 women from Germany, Hungary and Japan were surveyed concerning the issues of sexuality and reproductive health, as well as their general life situation and medical care. 25% of the recorded pregnancies in women with CHD resulted in miscarriage, stillbirth or TOP. Affecting 16.8% of all recorded pregnancies, miscarriages or stillbirths occurred more frequently than in the general population and more than previously recorded for patients with CHD. TOP occurred in 8% of the surveyed pregnancies. Underlying maternal predictors for neonatal events had an influence on the number of TOP; among those with underlying predictors, TOP was recorded 3-fold more than in those without such predictors (15.6% vs. 5.5%). Remarkably, a significant deficit regarding the level of information on potential pregnancy-associated risks was observed in all 3 participating countries. CONCLUSIONS Pregnant women with CHD should always be treated and counseled individually by cardiologists, gynecologists, obstetricians and anesthetists with appropriate expert knowledge.

Abstract
UNLABELLED With advances that have been made over the recent decades in transcatheter and surgical interventions, most patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) can survive into adulthood. Overall, probably half of these surviving patients are female. When these female CHD patients reach childbearing age, however, pregnancy management will be a major issue. In order to meet the demands of fetal growth, the maternal cardiovascular system starts a series of adaptations beginning in early pregnancy. These adaptations include: decreased systemic and pulmonary vascular resistances, decreased blood pressure, expansion of the blood volume, increased heart rate and increased cardiac output. For women with CHD, this hemodynamic alteration may increase the risks of adverse cardiovascular events as well as the fetal and neonatal complications. Therefore, proper risk stratification and effective counseling for women with CHD who are planning their pregnancies is an important undertaking. KEY WORDS Congenital heart disease; Pregnancy.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT The incidence of congenital cardiac disease among reproductive-aged women is increasing. Understanding the unique physiology of pregnancy and the postpartum period is critical to helping women achieve successful pregnancy outcomes. Risk assessment models estimate the cardiac, obstetric, and neonatal risks a woman may face and influence the conversations regarding pregnancy and contraception management. This review focuses on some of the most common congenital cardiac lesion encountered during pregnancy, as well as key aspects of antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum care for these women. A multidisciplinary team, with Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Cardiology and Obstetric Anesthesiology specialists, is critical to the care of these patients.
