Heart disease in pregnancy. In this country the recorded incidence of heart disease in pregnancy in several large series varies from 1.2 to 3.7 per cent (Table I). In Scandinavia it appears to be significantly lower. Buemann and Kragelund,16 in 1962, found an incidence of 0.9 per cent in over 22,000 pregnancies.

The subject of cardiac reoperation in general has been infrequently discussed in the medical literature and has not yet appeared in the nursing literature. Yet reoperation presents a real challenge, accentuating some problems that are also associated with primary cases and posing some considerations that are unique to the reoperative situation.

The need for cardiac surgery during pregnancy is rare. Only 1% to 4% of pregnancies are complicated by maternal cardiac disease and most of these can be managed with medical therapy and lifestyle changes. On occasion, whether owing to natural progression of the underlying cardiac disease or precipitated by the cardiovascular changes of pregnancy ...

Cardiac surgery in the elderly
Acta Chirurgica Austriaca, 2001Background: Cardiac surgery in the elderly is performed with increasing frequency. Besides low mortality, an evident gain in quality of life is the most important aim of therapy. To investigate the medium-term outcome of cardiac surgery, we evaluated patients over 75 years of age who were operated on within a 1.5-year period. Methods: Between 01/98 and
