Objectives
• Cardiac Physiology in Pregnancy
• Counseling the patient with cardiac disease
• Management of the pregnant patient with
cardiac disease
– Valvular lesions
– Congenital lesions
– Myocardial infarction
– Cardiomyopathy/heart failure
• Medication use in pregnancy
Introduction
• Advances in diagnosis and treatment of cardiac
conditions have led to dramatically improved survival
rates in reproductive age women
• The number of women postponing child bearing
beyond age 40 has grown, increasing the likelihood of
co-morbid conditions such as cardiac disease
• Cardiac disease complicates 4% of pregnancies, yet
accounts for 34% of all maternal deaths
• Obstetric patients with cardiac disease are susceptible
to a number of potential complications resulting from
significant physiologic changes associated with
pregnancy and delivery

Physiologic Changes
• Total blood/plasma volume increases by 50%
• Red cell mass increases by only 33%
• Results in functional anemia (decreased
hemoglobin/hematocrit)
• Heart accommodates this because of the decreased
SVR
• Decreased SVR results in systolic and diastolic blood
pressure drop in pregnancy (nadir 24-32 weeks)
• Cardiac output increases shortly thereafter 50% by 32
weeks, and an additional 50% in the second stage of
labor

Predicting Adverse Events
• CARPREG Score
– First study 1997 (Siu et al) – identifies
independent risk factors for cardiac complications
(CHF, CVA, arrythmia), 252 pregnant patients,
variety of lesions
– Most significant risk factors for complications
appear to be NYHA ¾, cyanosis, historyo f
arrhythmia, pulmonary vascular disease, EF < 40%
or significant mitral/aortic valve obstruction
Siu SC et al. Risk and predictors for pregnancy related complications in
women with heart disease. Circulation 1997
Predicting Adverse Events
• CARPREG Score
– 2001 study, Siu et al: prospective evaluation 617
pregnancies complicated by maternal cardiac
disease to characterize 4 predictors of maternal
complications:
• 1) History of CHF/TIA/CVA/arrythymia
• 2) Prepregnancy NYHA class II-IV or cyanosis
• 3) Left heart obstruction (MVA <2cm; AVA <1.5cm,
LVOT gradient > 30mmHg)
• 4) EF < 40%

Valvular Heart Lesions
Mitral Stenosis
– Flow across valve is fixed, progressive increase in preload results in
increase LA – LV pressure gradient; leads to increased LA pressure, can
result in pulmonary edema or pulmonary hypertension
– Baseline echocardiogram to determine severity of lesion, presence of
LAE
– Baseline EKG to rule out afib/LAE/RVH (suggest PHTN)
– Ideally recommend repair PRIOR to pregnancy
– Severe lesions can be repaired during pregnancy (case reports suggest
percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is safe/effective; however medical
management should be clearly exhausted before assuming these risks
in pregnancy)
– Complications typically around 30-32 weeks: pulmonary edema (60%
risk), atrial tachyarrhythmia (20% risk), LA clot -> CVA
– GOALS: prevent tachycardia, diuretics for pulmonary edema, antiarrythmics if afib occurs, manage pain, consider assisted 2nd stage
– Avoid terbutaline
Valvular Heart Lesions
Aortic Stenosis
– Stenotic valve obstructs flow from LV to aorta – causes LVH; CO
is fixed regardless of the high output situation (pregnancy);
sensitive to preload changes
– Increased preload will cause transmission of pressure back to
LA, pulmonary system causing edema
– Decreased preload will result in underperfusion
– Baseline echocardiogram to assess AVA and pressure gradient,
LVH, EF
– Baseline EKG to assess LVH, LV ischemia, LAE, arrhythmias
– Careful with physical activity – angina, syncope, CHF
– Avoid hypotension (hemorrhage) – decreased perfusion to
coronary arteries/infarction
– Correct BEFORE pregnancy if possible
– Anesthesia assistance for epidural (slow)
– Assisted 2nd stage
Valvular Heart Lesions
Mechanical Heart Valves - 3 options:
- Warfarin:
crosses placenta, warfarin embryopathy (nasal hypoplasia,
limb hypoplasia, epiphyseal stippling), intracranial
hemorrhage, miscarriage
but lowest rates of VTE
- Heparin
does not cross placenta
adjusted dose regimen with/without warfarin
- Lovenox
does not cross placenta
however black box warning after 2 maternal/fetal deaths
occurred in 2002 – may have been insufficient dosing
Mechanical Valves continued..
• Altered pharmacodynamics of medications in
pregnant patients, alterations in coagulation
cascade
• Need to monitor peak/trough levels with antiXa measurements and aPTT
• PTT is hard to monitor due to pregnancy
induced changes – elevation of factor VIII (8)
• Anesthesia considerations

Mechanical Valves
• 0-12 weeks (First Trimester)
– Heparin/Lovenox (dose adjusted)
• 12-36 weeks (Second/Third Trimesters)
– Warfarin (INR 2.5 – 3.5) + dose adjusted heparin/lovenox (PTT goal 6080, anti Xa goal 0.7-1.2)
• 36 weeks – delivery
– Stop Warfarin
– Continue heparin (no lovenox) dose adjusted
• Delivery
– Stop heparin at least 12 hours prior to delivery/regional anesthesia
• Postpartum
– Restart heparin/lovenox 6 hours post vaginal delivery, 12 hours post csection
– Restart Warfarin 12-24 hours
Bonow RO et al. ACC guidelines Circulation 2008
Obstetric Issues with anticoagulation
• General issues
– Full reversal of anticoagulation is not needed
– Make sure not supratherpeutic at least
– Full reversal is needed if maternal hemorrhage
• If on heparin at time of delivery
– Try to delay delivery 6 hours
– Prefer vaginal delivery (less bleeding)
– Protamine if emergency and fully anticoagulated
• If on warfarin at time of delivery
–
–
–
–
Prefer c-section (fetal hemorrhage)
Delay delivery to give vitamin K (INR <2)
Given FFP in OR prior to c-section (INR <2)
Notify peds neonate may need FFP/vitamin K

SBE prophylaxis
ACC Guidelines to use SBE
prophylaxis during
labor/delivery
- Prosthetic cardiac valve
- History of endocarditis
- CHD with
- Cyanotic disease
- Repaired <6 months ago
- Repaired with residual
defects

for antibiotics for SBE
prophylaxis during
labor/delivery
- Ampicillin 2g IV
- Cefazolin 1g IV
- Ceftriaxone 1g IV
- Clindamycin 600mg IV
- Amoxicilllin 2g PO

Maternal Congenital Heart Disease
• Aortic Coarctation:
–
–
–
–
–
If possible correct PRIOR to pregnancy
Screen for other co-existing lesions
Increased risk for intracranial aneurysm (screen)
Increased risk for preeclampsia (screen)
Concerns about risk of aortic rupture/aortic dissection
has prompted some to recommend elective c-section
– however can have assisted 2nd stage vaginal delivery
and manage pain carefully with epidural, control
blood pressure, maintain preload and minimize
valsalva
Maternal Congenital Heart Disease
• VSD/ASD/PDA
– Isolated VSD or corrected VSD do not increase the risk
of adverse outcomes in pregnancy, unless pulmonary
hypertension exists (screen)
– ASD do not increase risk to pregnant patient even if
unrepaired unless arrhythmias or pulmonary
hypertension occurs. However there is a risk for
paradoxical embolism (screen)
– Repaired PDA post no risk, unrepaired PDA pose risk
only if develop pulmonary hypertension (screen)
Maternal Congenital Heart Disease
• Ebstein Anomaly
– Uncommon in pregnancy, pregnancy is well tolerated
• TGV
– If uncorrected – 90% mortality rate, if corrected then
pregnancy can be tolerated with careful management
for RV dysfunction and dysrhythmia
• TOF
– If corrected overall tolerate pregnancy well, increased
risk for CHF, arrythymia (screen)
Maternal Congenital Heart Disease
• Eisenmenger Syndrome/Pulmonary Hypertension
– Unrepaired congenital intracardiac shunt with flow right to left
and pulmonary HTN
– Increased volume and decreased preload from decreased SVR
challenges the RV and precipitates RV failure
– Decreased SVR lowers peripheral resistance versus pulmonary
resistance worsening hypoxia/cyanosis
– Hypercoaguable state of pregnancy increased risk of clot
– Maternal mortality rates 30-50%
– Recommend termination of pregnancy
– If continues pregnancy – minimize cardiac demands (hospitalize,
bed rest), maximize oxygenation (supplemental oxygen),
anticoagulate, try pulmonary vasodilators
Maternal Congenital Heart Disease
• Marfan Syndrome
– 50% risk of passing to children
– 3-5% risk of dissection in pregnancy, greatest risk is those
with Ao Root Diameter > 4.5cm
– ACC/AHA recommends discouraging pregnancy if Ao Ro >
or = to 4cm
– Recommend repair PRIOR to pregnancy – even if no
symptoms
– Recommend beta blockers during pregnancy
– Vaginal delivery if Ao Root <4cm and no signs of heart
failure and pain is managed
– Controversial if Ao Root is >4cm – assisted 2nd stage? Or csection

Maternal Arrhythmias
• Depends of arrhythmia – get information to characterize
the type
• History of SVT increases risk of SVT in pregnancy
• History of afib/flutter should prompt evaluation for
structural disease (baseline echo, screen)
• Pharmacologic management should NOT be altered due to
pregnancy
• If unstable acute arrythmia in pregnancy not responding to
medical management can perform electrical cardioversion
• Ideally prefer evaluation PRIOR to pregnancy to determine
if need ablation, pacemaker or ICD, and to review risks of
fetal exposure to maternal cardiac medications
Acute Myocardial Infarction
• Rare (1/35,000), mortality rate 7.3%
• History of AMI is more common
• Same management as non pregnant patient:
– Oxygen, aspirin, nitroglycerin, heparin
– Careful with fibrinolytics
• Vaginal delivery can be performed – minimize
myocardial demand, control heart rate, maintain
blood pressure, control volume shifts
• Careful with Pitocin, Methergine or Misoprostil
Cardiomyopathy
• Peripartum CM is the development of heart
failure between 36 weeks and 5 months
postpartum in the absence of preexisting heart
disease
• Risk Factors include: multiparity, AMA, multiples,
preeclampsia, CHTN
• Echo criteria:
– EF < 45%
– LV shortening fraction < 30%
– LV end diastolic dimension > 2.7 cm/m2 BSA
Pearson GD et al. Peripartum cardiomyopathy – NIH recommendations. JAMA 2000
Cardiomyopathy
• Management is focused on reducing preload, reducing
afterload, improving contractility
• Delivery counseling
• Careful postpartum management
• Anesthesia evaluation
• Postpartum counseling – prognosis depends on return
of LV function within 6 months of delivery (expected in
50% of patients)
• In subsequent pregnancy if if EF does not recover to at
least > 25 % should counsel to avoid pregnancy

Standard of Care
• Accurate Diagnosis of the cardiac condition
• baseline echocardiogram, then follow every trimester
(pending lesion, severity, cardiology input)
• Mode of delivery based on obstetrical indications
only
• Discuss mode of delivery with cardiology ahead of time
(risks/benefits c-section versus VAVD/FAVD)
• Medical management initiated early in labor
(schedule delivery if possible)
• avoid prolonged labor; plan induction with a favorable
cervix
Standard of Care
• Anesthesia consultation is paramount to help with pain/anxiety,
hypertension (CSE/epidural – use fentanyl), assist with central
lines/art line
• Maintain hemodynamic stability
• Telemetry on admission, through labor and 12 hours postpartum
(when risk of CHF is highest)
• Replete electrolytes on admission and postpartum
• VTE prophylaxis labor/postpartum
• Continue cardiac medications in labor
• Prophylactic antibiotics (SBE) if at risk for endocarditis
• Avoid maternal blood loss
• Careful with pitocin, hemobate, methergine
• Have plan for active management of third stage of labor (in event
of PPH)
Family Planning
• Reproductive age women
presenting with cardiac
disease unique situation
– Preconception counseling
regarding risks with
undertaking pregnancy
– Contraception until they are
ready to undertake pregnancy
– Postpartum contraceptive
counseling to assist in
pregnancy spacing
– Discussion regarding surgical
correction prior to pregnancy
• Refer to MFM
Breast-feeding
• Most medications are
safe
• In general our principle
is that healthy mother is
healthy baby – so
certain cardiac
medications may be
necessary for maternal
health
• Discuss with
pediatrician
