Effect of cardiac function in pregnancy with heart disease on maternal and perinatal complications

Objective: To investigate the influence of cardiac function in pregnancy complicated with heart disease on maternal and perinatal complications.Methods: Retrospective study was carried out in 22 cases of pregnancy complicated with heart disease.Results: The outcome of pregnancy with cardiac function degree Ⅰ to Ⅱ was normally good.while the outcome of pregnancy with cardiac function degree Ⅲ to Ⅳ was bad.The latter had a higher incidence rate of cesarean section,premature delivery and heart failure.Conclusions: Mother-fetal outcome is highly related to the cardiac function.Under intensive monitor,vaginal delivery can be selected for the pregnant with heart function degree Ⅰ to Ⅱ.For the cases with cardiac function degree Ⅲ to Ⅳ,prenatal consultation,systematic prenatal care and ending the pregnancy in time can improve the outcome of both mothers and fetus.
