ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Prevalence estimates place maternal heart illness anywhere from 0.3 to 3.5 percent. Up to 20.5% of all maternal deaths of non-obstetrical cause are attributable to cardiovascular disease.Aim:
The aim of the study was the management of patients with the multidisciplinary approach to maternal cardiovascular disease and its influence on maternal and fetal outcomes in a tertiary care centre.Objectives:
1. To find out the prevalence and spectrum of heart disease in Pregnancy. 2. To find out the outcome of pregnancy with heart disease in a tertiary care centre. Materials andMethods:
This prospective study of one year was done on pregnant with heart disease coming to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department in collaboration with the cardiology department of IGIMS, Patna. A study was done on 65 pregnant with heart disease between the age group 20 to 35 years were compared to a control group of 65 pregnant women who were hospitalised during the same time period but did not have heart disease. All the pregnant women with heart disease were included in this study. Patients with medical disorders like Kidney disease, Liver disease, Pulmonary Disease, Diabetes Mellitus were excluded from the study. We used IBM's SPSS v23 to analyse the collected data.Result:
Prevalence of heart disease in pregnancy was 5.8% in present study and mostly of RHD (62.5%), followed by corrected CHD (12.5%) and CHD (10.9%). Patients of NYHA Class I and II (58.5%), Class III (26.2%), and Class IV (15.4%). The mitral valve was most often impacted by RHD (35.3% of all cases), followed by the tricuspid valve (15.0%). Eight (1.1%) people had cardiac surgery for therapeutic reasons. Six percent of all corrective surgeries included closing an atrial septal defect (ASD). The most common kind of congenital abnormality was a ventricular septal defect (VSD, 3%), followed by atrial septal defect (ASD, 1.5%) and pulmonary ductal atresia (PDA, 1.5%). Patients with heart disease had a higher rate of MTP, emergency LSCS and instrumental births than the controls. Deaths during pregnancy were 4 (6.2%) with cardiac disease and no maternal mortality in control group and all belonged to NYHA Class 4 were anaemic. In patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 45% or below, death was high. Two women died intrapartum from RHD, and two died postpartum from Peripartum cardiomyopathy. There were significantly more incidences of low-birth-weight infants (36.4%) compared to the control group (p = 0.001). Cases had a statistically significant greater frequency of obstetric problems, as well as an increased risk of developing anaemia, hypertension, hypothyroidism, cholestasis, FGR, and GDM (p-value 0.017). Multiparity, severe valvular lesion, NYHA function class III or IV, arrhythmia, and low ejection fraction were associated with poor maternal outcome in the current study.Conclusion:
Maternal morbidity and mortality due to heart disease can be reduced appreciably by antenatal care, early diagnosis, and management with the help of cardiologists and surgery in selected cases.
