Abstract
Valvular heart disorders (VHD) may affect both mother and fetus during pregnancy. This research examined pregnancy outcomes in valvular heart disease patients. Methods: This was a descriptive comparative study conducted at Department of Cardiology, PIMS, Islamabad, from April 10th to August 31st, 2023. The study consisted 318 females, 166 of them were healthy (control group) and 152 of them had valvular heart disease (study group). SPSS version 25 was used to analyze the data. Objectives: To evaluate the pregnancy outcomes of females with valvular heart disease presenting to tertiary care hospital. Results: Group-I contained 152 females with valvular heart disease and group-II had 166 healthy females. Group-I mean age was 20.2±4.8 years, whereas group-II mean age was 22.3±2.8 years (p>0.05). Stillbirths were greater in group-I 10(6.57%) and 2(1.20%) (p 0.001) than group-II. Mitral stenosis was the most common valvular lesion at 53.97% (82 patients). 18.42% (28 patients) had mitral regurgitation. The study group had 0.65% maternal mortality compared to 0% in the control group. 11 (7.23%) patients developed cardiac arrythmias in study group compared to 2 (1.20%) patients in control group. Conclusions: There is a high risk of pregnancy in pregnant females who has valvular heart disease is a and have higher probability of having fetomaternal complications.
