Cardiac disease in pregnancy can complicate about 1% of all pregnancies. It includes both congenital heart disease and acquired conditions like rheumatic heart disease. The physiological changes of pregnancy like increased blood volume, stroke volume and heart rate place an additional burden on the heart. Care during pregnancy involves classifying the cardiac lesion's risk level, monitoring for heart failure, preventing its triggers like infection and anemia, and managing pain relief to reduce stress on the heart. Termination of pregnancy may be indicated for high risk lesions like Eisenmenger's syndrome and Marfan's syndrome with aortic involvement due to their high maternal mortality rates.
This document discusses cardiovascular system problems in children, including congenital heart disease and acquired cardiac disorders. It provides classifications and descriptions of various congenital heart defects such as atrial and ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, coarctation of the aorta, tetralogy of Fallot, and transposition of the great vessels. It also discusses congestive heart failure, rheumatic fever, and their symptoms, causes, diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches.
This document discusses heart disease in pregnancy. It notes that rheumatic valvular heart disease is the most common cause of cardiovascular disease in pregnancy in developing countries. The most common rheumatic lesion is mitral stenosis. Congenital heart disease is the most frequent cardiovascular disease present during pregnancy in industrialized countries, with shunt lesions being predominant. Pregnancy can exacerbate pre-existing heart conditions and lead to complications like heart failure, arrhythmias, and pulmonary edema due to the increased cardiovascular demands. Careful management and monitoring during pregnancy and delivery are important for women with heart disease.

This document provides an overview of congenital heart disease, including common lesions and their physiology. It discusses the fetal circulation and how defects are more tolerated in utero but often cause issues after birth as pulmonary vascular resistance decreases. Common left-to-right shunt lesions like atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus are explained. Obstructive lesions such as coarctation of the aorta and pulmonary valve stenosis are also summarized. The document provides details on presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of these various congenital heart conditions.
Congenital heart disease refers to a range of birth defects that affect the normal functioning of the heart. It is present from birth and affects approximately 1 in 100 babies born in the UK. While the cause is often unknown, risks include genetic disorders like Down's syndrome, certain maternal infections or medications during pregnancy, smoking, drinking, or poorly controlled diabetes. Symptoms in babies and children may include rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, swelling, fatigue, or blue skin/lips. There are many types of congenital heart defects such as holes between chambers, narrow arteries, or abnormal positioning of valves and arteries.
This document provides information on congenital heart disease (CHD), including epidemiology, classification, diagnosis, and treatment. It discusses several specific types of CHD such as atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), coarctation of the aorta, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, tricuspid atresia, truncus arteriosus, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. It describes the clinical presentation, investigations, and management approaches for each condition.
Any disease or damage that affects one of the heart’s valves is known as valvular heart disease.
Any valve in the heart can become diseased, but it is most common in the mitral and aortic valves.
Diseased valves may fail to close completely, which can cause blood to leak back into the chamber it came from. If this happens, not enough blood flows through the heart. This is called regurgitation.
Diseased valves may also become narrow and stiff. This can cause the valve to open incompletely, preventing blood from flowing through properly. This is called stenosis.
Congenital heart defects are abnormalities in the heart's structure that are present at birth. They range from simple defects with no symptoms to complex defects that are life-threatening. They affect about 8 in 1,000 newborns. Some defects require immediate medical care, while others need no treatment or can be easily fixed. Common types include atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, tetralogy of Fallot, coarctation of the aorta, and patent ductus arteriosus. Treatment options depend on the size and severity of the defect, and may include medications, cardiac catheterization, or open-heart surgery.
1. Cardiac disease complicates around 2% of pregnancies worldwide and is a leading cause of maternal mortality, especially in developing countries where rheumatic heart disease is most common.
2. Pregnancy places additional strain on the heart and can cause cardiac failure, especially for those with preexisting heart conditions or risk factors like hypertension, infection, anemia.
3. Management involves careful prenatal monitoring and treatment to prevent cardiac failure, with multidisciplinary care and delivery in a hospital for high-risk patients. Conditions requiring termination or corrective surgery prior to pregnancy include pulmonary hypertension and severe aortic stenosis.
Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a form of heart failure that develops in the final month of pregnancy or within 5 months after delivery. It is defined as left ventricular systolic dysfunction without other identifiable causes. Risk factors include age over 30, multiparity, African descent, cocaine use, long term tocolytic therapy, multiple gestation, preeclampsia history, and nutritional deficiencies. Diagnosis involves excluding other causes by EKG, echocardiogram, labs, and symptoms matching criteria. Treatment is similar to other heart failures with diuretics, beta-blockers, digoxin, and anticoagulants considering pregnancy risk classifications. Prognosis shows 50-60% recovery within 6 months but high

It also discusses obstructive lesions such as aortic stenosis and pulmonary stenosis. The document provides details on the prevalence, clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of VSD and PDA. VSD is the most common congenital heart defect, presenting with heart murmur and signs of heart failure. PDA presents with murmur and respiratory distress. Both are diagnosed by echocardiogram and managed medically or surgically.
This document provides an overview of congenital heart disease (CHD). It begins with objectives and an outline of the topics to be covered, including a case presentation of a 4 day old infant with a patent ductus arteriosus. Key points include: the causes of CHD can be genetic or environmental; CHD is classified into categories like septal defects, cyanotic defects, and obstructive defects; signs and symptoms vary depending on the specific defect but may include murmurs, breathing difficulties, and cyanosis; and management involves treatments like medication or surgery depending on the severity and type of defect.
1. Heart disease occurs in less than 1% of pregnancies, with rheumatic heart disease being the most common, followed by congenital heart disease.
2. Pregnancy places additional strain on the heart through increased blood volume, cardiac output, and pressure on the vena cava. Women with preexisting heart conditions or risk factors like hypertension are susceptible to heart failure during pregnancy.
3. Care involves a multidisciplinary team, supervision in hospital, managing infections and other risk factors, and modifying cardiac medications during pregnancy and delivery to reduce risk of complications for both mother and baby.

The document discusses normal cardiac physiology during pregnancy and various types of cardiac disease that can occur during pregnancy. The key points are:
1) Cardiac output and blood volume increase significantly during pregnancy to support the growing fetus and placenta. Hormonal and autonomic nervous system changes also impact the cardiovascular system.
2) Common cardiac diseases that can complicate pregnancy include congenital heart diseases like atrial and ventricular septal defects, acquired rheumatic heart disease like mitral stenosis, and other conditions like cardiomyopathy.
3) Cyanotic congenital heart diseases where there is right-to-left shunting, like Eisenmenger's syndrome, carry a very high risk during pregnancy with
Cardiac diseases complicate 1-4% of pregnancies. During pregnancy, there are increased cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate, and blood volume while vascular resistance and blood pressure decrease. Common cardiac issues in pregnancy include rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart defects, mitral valve prolapse, bacterial endocarditis, peripartum cardiomyopathy, and Eisenmenger's syndrome. Women with cardiac diseases require monitoring, limited activity, infection prevention, appropriate medication, and rest during pregnancy to prevent decompensation.
Congenital Heart disease or CHD refers to structural abnormalities in the heart present at birth. It is the most common type of birth defect, occurring in 5-8 per 1,000 live births. CHD encompasses several types of defects including atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). ASD involves an abnormal opening between the left and right atria, VSD is an opening in the ventricular septum between the ventricles, and PDA is the failure of the ductus arteriosus to close after birth, allowing blood to flow between the aorta and pulmonary artery. Symptoms vary depending on the size and

Topics include social and cultural background and challenges, healthcare disparities, advanced care planning, and strategies for reaching the community and improving quality of care.
Unlocking the Secrets to Safe Patient Handling.pdfLift Ability
Furthermore, the time constraints and workload in healthcare settings can make it challenging for caregivers to prioritise safe patient handling Australia practices, leading to shortcuts and increased risks.
6. Introduction
• Heart disease in pregnancy is very
rare but potentially serious and
complicates approximately 1% of all
pregnancies. the incidence of
rheumatic heart disease and
undiagnosed or uncorrected
congenital heart disease is higher in
developing countries.
7. Cont… • If the heart is already
compromised by an existing
anomaly, this can result in a poor
outcome for both fetus and
mother.
• The onset of pregnancy marks
the beginning of progressive and
profound changes in the
physiology of the cardiovascular
system.
• Pregnancy in a patient with
existing heart disease should be
a carefully planned
8. Cardiovascular Changes
in Pregnancy
• Most pregnant women develop fatigue ,
shortness of breath, Decreased exercise
capacity , palpitations .
• Some times peripheral edema , jugular
venous distension , audible systolic flow
murmer .
• This is explained by : changes occurring
during 1st 5 -8 weeks of pregnancy and
reach the peak by the end of 2nd trimester
. These changes includes :
9. • Increased Blood
Volume by 20 –
40 % during
pregnancy and
reach the peak
at 32nd week
remained at
high level to
delivery occur .
10. • A. Preload: is
increased due to
associated Rise in
the blood
volume.
• B. Afterload: is
reduced due to
the decline in
systemic vascular
resistance.
• Cardiac output
increases 10-20%
Increases Cardiac
output
12. • systolic Decreased
by 5 – 10 mm/Hg
• diastolic decreased
by 10 – 15 mm/Hg
• Due to
vasodilatation
caused by :
• i. Placenta acts as
arterio – venous
shunt thus decrease
peripheral
resistance.
13. • Increased liability
of varicose vein
due to :
• i. Pressure of
gravid uterus on
pelvic veins .
• ii. Relaxation of
smooth muscle
fibers in the blood
vessel wall by
progesterone .
• iii. Increase in the
blood volume .
15. Grade Symptoms Degree of

19. Investigations
• Full Cardiovascular Examination includes
Blood tests (CBC , BTCT)
• Enzyme study (Troponin I) & CPK
• Echocardiogram :cardiac status and
structural anomalies
• ECG
• CXR ( Chest X ray ) : Assess cardiac size &
Outline
• Other Imaging : CT Scan , MRI of the
Chest
• Angiography
20. Effects of Cardiac Disease in
Pregnancy
• Fetal
complications :
• Abortion
• IUGR
• IUFD
• Preterm labour
• Early neonatal
death
• Maternal
complications :
• Polyhydraminos
( part of systemic
venous congestion)
• Preterm labour
( Cx is congested )
• Postpartum
hemorrhage
21. Classification
• 1) Rheumatic Heart Disease
(i)Aortic valve Stenosis
(ii) Mitral Valve Stenosis
• 2) Congenital Heart Disease
Acyanotic CHD ( L to R Shunt)
Cyanotic CHD (R to Left Shunt)
Other CHD
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
22. 1. Rheumatic Heart Disease
• Rheumatic heart Disease causes
inflammation & scanning of the Heart
Valves & results in Valve
Stenosis,with/without Regurgitation.
• The Mitral Valve is most often affected
with Stenosis ( occurring in 2/3rd of
cases)
(i)Aortic Valve Stenosis
(ii) Mitral Valve Stenosis
25. Acyanotic Heart Disease
• An acyanotic heart defect, also known
as non-cyanotic heart defect, is a class
of congenital heart defects. In these,
blood is shunted (flows) from the left
side of the heart to the right side of
the heart due to a structural defect (hole)
in the interventricular septum.
• Rheumatic heart disease in pregnancy
Acute rheumatic fever is an illness
caused By a reaction to a bacterial
infection with group a streptococcus.
26. Cont…
• most common CHD,which may remain
uncorrected during the child bearing
years,are ASD , PDA , VSD.
• All of these are openings,which allow
communication between the right &
left sides of the Heart or case of PDA
between the Pulmonary Artery & Aorta.
• Problems arise when pulmonary
vascular resistance rises,as it does in
Pre eclempsia,
32. 2. Cyanotic Heart Disease
• (i) Tetralogy of Fallot:
• A combination of four heart defects..
• Ventricular septal defect (VSD): A hole
between the two bottom chambers, the
ventricles, of the heart that permits
oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle
to mix with oxygen-rich blood from the left
ventricle.
• Pulmonary stenosis: Narrowing of the
outlet to the pulmonary artery area with an
abnormal pulmonary valve impeding
blood flow from the right ventricle to the
lungs.
33. Cont…
• Right ventricular hypertrophy
(RVH):Thickening and enlargement of
the muscle of the right ventricle.
• Overriding Aorta: A case in which the
aorta overrides or straddles the wall (the
septum) between the ventricles,
permitting oxygen-poor blood to flow
through the VSD into the aorta.
34.
35. (ii) Eisenmenger’s
Syndrome
• It’s defined as the process in which a
long-standing left-to-right cardiac
shunt caused by a congenital heart
defect(typically by a ventricular septal
defect, atrial septal defect, or less
commonly, patent ductus arteriosus)
causes pulmonary hypertension] and
eventual reversal of the shunt into
a cyanotic right-to-left shunt.
• Eisenmenger's syndrome in
a pregnant mother can cause serious
complications.
36.
37. 3.Other CHD
• (iii) Coarctation of Aorta:
• The word "coarctation" means
narrowing. Coarctations are most
common in the aortic arch.
• Coarctation of the aorta (CoA or
CoAo), also called aortic narrowing, is
a congenital condition whereby
the aorta is narrow, usually in the area
where the ductus arteriosus inserts.
38.
39. (ii) Marfan Syndrome
• A hereditary genetic disorder of connective
tissue, resulting in abnormally long and thin
digits and also frequently in optical and
cardiovascular defects.
• People with Marfan tend to be tall, and thin,
with long arms, legs, fingers, and toes.They
also typically have flexible
joints and scoliosis. The most serious
complications are the heart and aorta with
an increased risk of mitral valve
prolapse and aortic aneurysm.Other
commonly affected areas include the lungs,
eyes, bones, and the covering of the spinal
cord.
40.
41. Coronary Artery Disease in
Pregnancy
Myocardial infarction of coronary
artery disease complication during
pregnancy is a rare complication.
It occurs due to the increase in
cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and
decrease in high-density lipoproteins.
The best cardiologist surgeon in
Hyderabad report says 1 in 10,000 may
affect with this during pregnancy.
42.
43. Heart Murmur:
It is a sound produced at the time of
heart beat.
This is commonly developed in
pregnant women because of high
blood volumes in the body.
But one should seek doctors’ advice to
control or prevent it depending upon
the situation.
44. Previous pregnancy with
complication

47.
48. • Pain in the chest & joints
• Fast heart rate
• Abnormal heart beat
• Fatigue
• Fever
54. • Monitor the woman's vital signs, level of
mobility, level of consciousness.
• Monitor fetal status.
• Psychosocial issues such as levels of
stress, exposure to
• abuse and violence
• Complete a dietary history & modify Diet
• counseling
55. The patient should be In lateral
recumbent position to minimise aorto-
caval compression
• oxygen is to be administered if
required
• Fluids should not be infused than 75
ml/hour to prevent pulmonary edema
• Careful watch of the pulse and
respiration rate.
• Cardiac monitoring and pulse oxymetry
cab detect arrhythmias
56. • Propped up position
• O2 administration
• Monitoring with ECG&pulse oxymetry
• Given diuretic
• Mechanical ventilation
• Injection morphine
MANAGEMENT OF CARDIAC FAILURE IN
PREGNANCY
57. Decrease and control the risk
Quit smoking:
If a pregnancy woman has smoking
habit, it should be Stop
The smoke will spoil lungs and other
organs and leads to increase the risk
in many heart diseases.
There are chance of even abortions
and other complications to both
mother and baby if not quitted.
58.
59.
60. Improve cholesterol levels:
Bad cholesterol affects body and
changes the heart functionality.
Improve the cholesterol levels and
destroy the bad cholesterol from body.
This will reduce obesity and improve
health.
61.
62. Control high blood
pressure:
• High blood pressure will result in
various cardiac disease in
pregnancy and if not treated
properly it may lead to
abnormalities to the baby.
63.
64. Follow a heart-healthy
Diet:
Never skip any of the meals. Follow a
healthy diet which helps in providing
rich amount of proteins, minerals,
nutrients and other healthy
components to the body.
Always consult doctor during
pregnancy period to know the foods to
avoid and foods to be taken more to
protect baby from any sort of
abnormalities and diseases.
65.
66. Control Diabetics:
Diabetics has the major impact of
both body and heart during
pregnancy.
Few pregnant women may affect with
diabetics during pregnancy and cure
by themselves after the delivery of the
baby with the proper treatment and
medication.
67.
68. Manage stress:
Stress may cause many internal body
and mental tensions and changes to
the person.
This may lead to depression and can
cause various heart diseases.
Stress management is the priority of
every pregnancy woman.
Unnecessary tensions should be
avoided and always be happy and
peaceful.
69.
70. Healthy Foods:
Eat healthy foods prescribed by
the doctors by concentrating on
Do’s and Don’ts of the food
menu.
Eat quality and organic foods.
Skip various unsaturated, stored
foods which harm both parent
and child and can cause various
defects in the child.
71.
72. Exercise:
There are special exercises, yoga,
and meditation for pregnancy
women.
No woman should follow normal
exercises or yoga process during
pregnancy time as they may lead
to abortions.
Always do this process in the
guidance of experienced
professional.
73.
74. Water:
As we all know about water and
its essentials.
Always prefer to drink warm
water during pregnancy and
prefer water instead of cool
drinks or other drinks.
Never drink bottled water or
chill water.
Maintain a separate water bottle
with warm water and carry
where ever you go.
75. Heart disease in pregnancy
guidelines
Treat the diseases you already have
whether it is related to heart or any
other disease.
Test for birth defects and genetic
conditions.
Check and control pregnancy related
complication if had in past.
Make pregnant woman stress free
and always keep your body and mind
in relaxed state.
76. Cont…
Monthly consultations are must and
medication should be taken in time.
Never change multiple doctors
during pregnancy follow only one
clinic and doctor till the end.
Adopt for pregnancy yoga and
exercise which helps in ease
delivery.
