Abstract
Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to examine past and current literature regarding maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnancy in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). In this review we will outline the management of PH during and after pregnancy.
Recent findings: Recent retrospective data has shown improvements in maternal and fetal outcomes in PH as well as successful management of PH and RV failure during pregnancy. With more data and experience, outcomes have improved, offering better guidance on the management of pregnancy in the PH patient. While it is important to recognize high-risk patients, low-risk patients may be able to safely carry and deliver a baby, representing a significant shift in the PH world. We hope to focus attention on the following aspects: comprehensive risk stratification, disease optimization, and careful planning through a multidisciplinary team approach.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of heart failure. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as investigative, pharmacologic, and nonpharmacologic therapies, pathophysiology, and prevention. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
