Maternal congenital heart disease and effects on neonatal outcomes: the other side of the dyad

As a result of improved childhood survival, more patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are reaching reproductive age, leading to a growing high risk obstetric population. Though much knowledge has been gained in this cohort, less is known about their offspring compared to other cardiac populations. In this study, we sought to determine the fetal and neonatal outcomes from pregnancies complicated with maternal CHD in comparison to acquired heart disease.
