Pulmonary Hypertension and Pregnancy Outcomes: Data from the Registry Of Pregnancy and Cardiac Disease (ROPAC) of the European Society of Cardiology

Abstract

Mortality in this group of patients with various forms of PH was lower than previously reported as specialized care during pregnancy and delivery was available. However, maternal and fetal mortality remains prohibitively high in women with iPAH, although this conclusion is restricted by limited numbers. Early advice on contraception, pregnancy risk and fetal outcome remains paramount.
