Abstract
Cardiovascular disorders are increasingly encountered in pregnancy. In part, because care of congenital heart disease has significantly improved that more girls survive their childhood and get into their reproductive years. In addition, rheumatic heart disease is common among some immigrant groups and they may be first diagnosed in pregnancy. In this chapter, we will discuss common cardiovascular diseases in pregnancy and how diagnosis should alter antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care. We will also cover hypertension disorders of pregnancy in this chapter.
