Description

Background: Cardiac Disease is an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality both in antepartum and postpartum period. The overall incidence of heart disease in pregnancy is 2-4%. It can be congenital or acquired. In developing countries Rheumatic heart disease continues to be the major cause of morbidity and morbidity. Objective of present study was to determine the maternal outcome in pregnant women with heart disease and early intervention. Outcome of the study will highlight the effectiveness of cardiac intervention in appropriate patients and its outcome both  maternal and fetal. Method: It is a prospective observational study. Conducted at Government  Rajaji Hospital, Madurai for a period of 12 months from January 2020 to December 2020. Government Rajaji Hospital is a tertiary care referral centre, a Cemonc hospital where 216 pregnant woman with previously established or newly diagnosed during pregnancy were included in the study. They were registered and monitored from the time of registration and followed up till 12 months postpartum period. Results: Incidence of heart disease in our hospital is 1.3%. Among 216 mothers, 85.6% cases are of Rheumatic heart disease. Most of them belongs to mild moderate valvular lesion. Among 59 severe mitral stenotic heart disease, percutaneous  mitral valve commissurotomy (PTMC) done for 11 cases. 11 of them delivered successfully without any adverse intrapartum and postpartum events. Overall mortality rate of heart disease complicating pregnancy in our institution is 0.4%.
