Abstract
BACKGROUND: Pregnancy is an experience that many women can achieve. Pregnancy is generally well tolerated in asymptomatic patients with cardiomyopathies but in restrictive form cardiomyopathy, pregnancy cannot be tolerated because of poor prognosis. Prior cardiac events, poor functional class (New York Heart Association class III or IV), or advanced left ventricular systolic dysfunction are present, the risk of maternal cardiac complications during pregnancy are markedly increased. Worsening of the clinical condition can occur during pregnancy, despite intensive medical treatment. Although the incident of cardiovascular disease is present 0.5-4% in developed countries, our knowledge about various of cardiomyopathy and pregnancy should be updateable. CONCLUSION: Our literature provide three types of cardiomyopathy in pregnancy with an example condition for each type that relevant during pregnancy. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is the most common form of cardiomyopathy occured in pregnancy therefore a thorough review is needed to give best outcome for pregnancy. Arryhtmia is the commonnest form in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which need to be regularly monitored and measure should be taken if the arryhtmia is life threatening for mother and the child. Cardiac amyloidosis is the common form of restrictive cardiomyopathy in pregnancy.
Highlights
In general practice, heart disease is expected to be found in pregnant women[1]
We provide three types of cardiomyopathies in pregnancy with an example condition for each type that is relevant during pregnancy
From 2007 to 2011, 1321 women with cardiac disease were included in the Registry of Pregnancy and Cardiac Disease (ROPAC) survey, a voluntary register for pregnancy and cardiac disease run by the Heart Survey Service of the European Society of Cardiology
Summary
Heart disease is expected to be found in pregnant women[1]. Maternal mortality is estimated to be much higher than normal in women with coronary disease and the rate tends to escalate in such a manner that heart disease is the main cause of maternal death in western nations.[49] any impact of breastfeeding upon on development of heart-related disease affects pregnancy is relatively unknown.[2]. Cardiomyopathy is characterized as a heart muscle condition that causes an irregular myocardium structurally and functionally without a specific cause.[50] Previous findings have shown that more than 700 births are well prognosed in 500 women diagnosed with hypertrohypertrophic subtype, but in high-risk cases, three deaths have been reported. The normal form of restrictive cardiomyopathy in pregnancy is cardiac amyloidosis
