Severe pulmonary hypertension and reduced right ventricle systolic function associated with maternal mortality in pregnant uncorrected congenital heart diseases

Abstract

Maternal mortality rate among pregnant uncorrected congenital heart disease with majority of atrial septal defect was 10.7% and among congenital heart disease-pulmonary hypertension with majority of atrial septal defect was 12.5%. Factors related with maternal mortality were severe pulmonary hypertension, Eisenmenger syndrome, and reduced right ventricle systolic function.
