Abstract

Purpose: Pregnant women who were diagnosed with a cardiac disease, from an echocardiogram before or during pregnancy, were retrospectively analysed in this study.
Materials and Methods: Pregnant women who delivered at our training and research hospital in the time period of 2009-2014 were included in this study. The records of women who gave birth were screened retrospectively.
Results: Patients who were diagnosed with an echocardiogram before or during pregnancy were considered as pregnant women with heart diseases. Patients who underwent pregnancy termination due to decompressed heart diseases were excluded from the study. 37 520 deliveries were examined. The number of complicated pregnancies with heart disease was 132 (0.35%), 45 of these patients had a caesarian section (C/S). Mitral valve diseases were found to be the most common cause of heart disease. Heart disease complicating pregnancy is increasing with advanced maternal age.
Conclusion: Understanding the physiological changes in pregnancy and their effect on specific cardiac conditions forms the basis of management during pregnancy. Close surveillance should be offered for these women. Prior to pregnancy, patients should receive a cardiovascular assessment and counseling, this should be a primary goal.

Kalp hastalığı olan gebelerin retrospektif analizi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, gebelik öncesi veya gebelik sırasında ekokardiyogramdan kalp hastalığı tanısı konan gebelerin demografik özellikleri, eşlik eden kalp hastalığı ve doğum şekli retrospektif olarak incelendi.
Araçlar ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza 2009-2014 döneminde Van eğitim ve araştırma hastanemize başvuran gebeler dahil edildi. Doğum yapan kadınların kayıtları geriye dönük olarak tarandı. Bulgular: Hamilelikten önce veya gebelik sırasında ekokardiyogram ile tanısı konan hastalar , kalp hastalığı olan hamile kadınlar olarak kabul edildi. Dekompresyonlu kalp hastalıkları nedeniyle gebeliği sonlandırılan hastalar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. 37 520 doğum yapan gebe incelendi. Kalp hastalığı olan komplike gebeliklerin sayısı 132 (% 0.35), bu hastaların 45'inde sezaryen (C/S) yapıldı. Mitral kalp kapak hastalıkları, gebelerde kalp hastalığının en sık sebebi olarak bulundu. Gebeliği zorlaştıran kalp hastalığı, ileri anne yaşı ile birlikte arttığını görüldü.
Sonuç: Hamilelikteki fizyolojik değişiklikleri ve bunların belirli kalp rahatsızlıkları üzerindeki etkilerini anlamak, hamilelik sırasında yönetimin temelini oluşturur. Bu kadınlar için yakın gözetim önerilmelidir. Gebelikten önce, hastalar kardiyovasküler bir değerlendirme ve danışmanlık almalı ve bu birincil amaç olmalıdır.
