Abstract

BACKGROUND: The hemodynamic changes during pregnancy can be challenging in women with underlying heart disease, particularly in women with impaired left ventricular function (LVF, left ventricular ejection fraction II (OR: 6.06; 2.2-16.6) were associated with poor cardiac outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Women with impaired LVF are at increased risk of complications, particularly heart failure, tachyarrhythmias, and premature delivery with low birth weight.
