PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN PREGNANCY
Cardiac output 30-50%
Stroke volume 30-50%
Heart rate 10-20bpm
Systemic Peripheral resistance 30%
Decrease in both systolic(3-5mmHg) &diastolicblood pressure (5-10mmHg) .

PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES DURING LABOUR Rapid increase in HR and BP Increase in Cardiac Output
15% in 1st stage 50% in 2nd stage
Uterine contractions -> auto-transfusion of 300-500ml 3rd Stage: 1L blood returns to circulation Hence, risk of pulmonary edema in 2nd stage and immediately
post-partum Changes revert ---

SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
• Rarely required, in certain cases of acquired heart disease
• Open heart surgery avoided (10-30% Risk of fetal loss)
• Closed valvotomy or valvuloplasty preferred for valvular lesions
• Optimal time -> 2nd trimester

TIME OF DELIVERY
• Multidisciplinary Approach
• TIMING OF DELIVERY:Individualized on– Cardiac status– Bishop score– Fetal well-being– Lung maturity

![Page 28: Heart disease in pregnancy - Dr Taila Amber](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ecec361a28ab544d8b45fd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
MODE OF DELIVERY
Normal vaginal delivery - in patients hemodynamically stable (ESC guidelines)– Less risk of blood loss, infections, VTE
Cesarean section is indicated in:1. Aortic dissection2. Marfan syndrome with dilated aortic root( >45mm)3. Hemodynamically Unstabillity in particular case of
severe AS.4. Obstetric causes 5. OACs

INDUCTION OF LABOUR
• BISHOP favorable : ARM & Oxytocin infusion
• BISHOP unfavorable: – Misoprostol : Low risk of coronary vasospasm &
arrhythmias– Dinoprostol: Affects B.P, Contraindicated in active
CVD– Mechanical methods preferred

LABOUR Intensive Hemodynamic monitoring in severe stenotic lesions
or low EF. Admit few days before labour Pulse, BP, O2 saturation, Left lateral position. Careful attention to volume status NS < 75 ml/hour Inj. Furosemide , Digoxin - Asses pulmonary basal crepts, JVP Treatment of arrhythmias Epidural analgesia to provide analgesia and thus avoid
increase in CO due to pain and anxiety Procedures (ventouse / forceps) to cut short the 2nd stage of
labour

DELIVERY IN ANTICOAGULATED WOMEN WITH PROSTHETIC VALVES
• ELECTIVE DELIVERY:– OACs shifted to LMWH / UFH from 36 weeks– LMWH shifted to UFH 36 hrs before induction/ C-section– UFH discont. 4-6 hrs before delivery, restarted 4-6 hrs after
delivery• EMERGENCY DELIVERY:
– If on UFH/LMWH --- consider Protamine– If on OACs --- C-section
• FFP & Oral Vit K (0.5-1mg) before C-section• Target INR ≤ 2• FFP & Vit K to newborn

Warfarin is the favored anticoagulant during the 2nd, 3rd trimesters until the 36th wk
(Class IC ESC guidelines).
Warfarin is favored in the 1st trimester if the dose <5mg /24hrs(Class IIaC ECS guidelines)

POST PARTUM CARE
• Slow IV oxytocin infusion @ <2U/min• PGF analogues in PPH• Methylergometrine contraindicated (10% risk of
vasoconstriction & HTN)• Leg care, elastic stockings, early ambulation to
prevent VTE• Hemodynamic monitoring for 24-72 hours post-
partum

• Acute atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation treated promptly
• Ventricular Arrhythmias commonest cardiac complication during pregnancy
• If possible, all antiarrhythmic drugs should be avoided during the first trimester, and those known to be teratogenicity should be avoided throughout pregnancy.
• Because of their safety profiles, preferred drugs include digoxin, beta-blockers and adenosine.

CONTRACEPTION
• Barrier methods – unreliable.• COC contraindicated.• Progesterone only pill have better side effect profile
& long acting slow releasing as Mirena intrauterine system have improved efficacy.
• Sterilization where family completed. (Laparoscopic clip sterilization carries risk).

CONCLUSIONPregnancy causes significant haemodynamic changes
and imposes an additional burden on the cardiac patient, especially around the time of labour and in the immediate puerperium.
To achieve a successful pregnancy outcome, a clear understanding of these haemodynamic adaptations as well as meticulous maternal and foetal surveillance for risk factors and complications throughout the pregnancy is essential.

CONCLUSION
Appropriate contraceptive and family planning advice as well as pre-conceptional counseling are also important.
The concerted efforts of a team consisting of theobstetrician, cardiologist, anesthetist, cardiothoracic surgeon, neonatologist, and pediatric cardiologist are mandatory to ensure optimal results.
