Abstract

Cardiac disease of pregnancy encompasses a broad arena of pathologies. Many cardiac diseases during pregnancy are under investigation, and many others which are still not understood require further inquiry. Some of these diseases may be exacerbations of pre-existing conditions that the pregnant woman may already have, or they may develop a new disease process that presents because of the complex hormonal changes and physiology of pregnancy.

Objective:

To determine the frequency of types of cardiac diseases in pregnant women with cardiac disease presenting to tertiary care hospital.This Cross Sectional Study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, LRH, Peshawar from 1st March 2021 to 31st August 2021. A total of 252 pregnant women with cardiac disease were included in the study. All women were sent to cardiology department and cardiac diseases were diagnosed. Women with cardiac diseases were managed as per slandered protocol.

Age range in this study was from 18 to 40 years with mean age of 29.650±2.55 years, mean parity 1.980±1.28 and mean gestational age was 28.841±2.23 Kg. Mitral regurgitation was observed in 30.2% patients, aortic aneurism 7.9%, angina pectoris 6%, mitral valve stenosis 21.8%, atrial septal defect 16.3% and ventricular septal defect was 18.7%.Mitral regurgitation was the most common heart disease among pregnant women with cardiac diseases.
