The spectrum of cardiovascular disease affecting women in pregnancy
and postpartum is changing and differs between countries. In the
western world, the risk of cardiovascular disease in pregnancy has
increased due to the increasing age at the first pregnancy and the
worldwide obesity epidemic leading also to early diabetes and
hypertension. In addition the treatment of congenital heart disease
has improved leading to an increased number of women with residual
heart disease reaching childbearing age. In the western world
maternal heart disease is now the major cause of maternal death
during pregnancy. In the developing world rheumatic heart disease
and the cardiomyopathies dominate. Those women often need
anticoagulation as they might have had a valve replacement or
formed a thrombus in the left heart. Drugs during pregnancy and the
breastfeeding period is a complex subject and there is a profound
shortage of evidence based recommendations. As drug treatment in
pregnancy concern the mother and the fetus optimum treatment of
both must be targeted. This book aims at discussing the most
important indications of drug usage in pregnancy and postpartum
with the aim of weighing the potential risk of a drug and the
possible benefit against each other.
