What you will learn
If you work in an adult congenital heart disease setting, you will be confronted with patients who ask you if they can get pregnant. This is why we added this particular chapter. We explain the hemodynamic effects of pregnancy and postpartum and which complications can occur. Both in the mother and the fetus. In addition, you will learn which patients should avoid pregnancy and which level of care is necessary. A special section is dedicated to Eisenmenger syndrome and pregnancy.
Topics:
- Magnitude of the problem
- Hemodynamic effects of pregnancy
- Which patients are at risk?
- The postpartum period
- Stenotic lesions and pregnancy
- Volume overload and pregnancy
- Eisenmenger syndrome and pregnancy
