Global Cardiac Risk Assessment in the Registry of Pregnancy and Cardiac Disease: Results of a Registry from the European Society of Cardiology

Abstract

The mWHO risk classification is a useful tool for predicting cardiac events during pregnancy in women with established cardiac disease in advanced countries, but seems less effective in emerging countries. Data on pre-pregnancy cardiac condition including signs of heart failure and atrial fibrillation, may help to improve preconception counselling in advanced and emerging countries.
