Abstract :

Pregnancy is associated with significant cardiovascular changes which result in hemodynamic burden leading to increasedmorbidity and even mortality in women with cardiac disease. Risk during pregnancy is dependent upon the type and severity of valvular abnormality, NYHA functional status, left ventricular function and pulmonary pressure.We report a case of 21 years old unbooked primigravida with gestational age of 28 weeks 3 days, known case of valvular heart disease. Patient was managed conservatively by a team of obstetrician, cardiologist and physician. She hadpreterm vaginal deliveryat 30 weeks without any complication. Early diagnosis of heart disease, regular antenatal checkup, institutional delivery and multidisciplinary approach can reduce the maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
