Title : Pregnancy and Delivery in Pulmonary Hypertension
Abstract:
Pulmonary hypertension is known to complicate pregnancy and historically been associated with unacceptably high maternal mortality. Patients with PH of any cause have been classified at the highest risk level in the Modified World Health Organization Classification of Maternal Cardiovascular Risk (mWHO). In this talk, I will review the researches from both our and other medical centers about status quo, clinical characteristics, maternal outcomes of pregnant women with PH and share the experiences of our center based on a case (a PAH-CHD pregnant woman who also carries a BMPR2 mutation).
Audience Take Away:
- Pathology change of pregnancy in PH patients.
- Clinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes in patients with PH
- Help to conduct a multi-center registry studies on pregnancy in PH patients to optimize the outcomes of these patients.
