Heart failure in pregnant women. A difficult therapeutic approach

C. C. Diaconu, A. L. Balaceanu, D. Bartos, R. Vladareanu


Abstract: Pregnant women have significant physiological hemodynamic changes that can decompensate a preexistent heart failure. Also, pregnant women without history of cardiovascular diseases can develop heart failure during pregnancy, due to cardiovascular diseases acquired during pregnancy, as peripartum cardiomyopathy. Pregnant women have not been adequately represented in randomized clinical trials of heart failure. Clinicians involved in managing pregnant women with heart failure must frequently make treatment decisions without adequate evidence or consensus expert opinion.
