The Cardiovascular Complications of Pregnancy
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2007During the course of a normal pregnancy, the cardiovascular system of the mother is required to adapt to significant alterations in hemodynamics, including an almost 50% increase in cardiac output. This change in cardiac output is mediated by a significant increase in heart rate, a change in blood volume, as well as a neurohormonally mediated increase ...

MATERNAL CARDIOVASCULAR HAEMODYNAMICS IN NORMAL AND COMPLICATED PREGNANCIES
Fetal and Maternal Medicine Review, 2003Why should obstetricians study maternal cardiac function in normal and complicated pregnancies? Despite our understanding of the importance of disease processes, such as autoimmunity, impaired renal function and long-standing diabetes, on the placenta and thus pregnancy outcome, new data is emerging to suggest that early central cardiovascular ...

Trends in cardiovascular complications of pregnancy: A nationwide inpatient sample analysis
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2023Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of pregnancy-related mortality in the United States. Physiologic stress of pregnancy can induce several hemodynamic changes that contribute to an increased risk of cardiac complications in the peripartum period.
