Pericardial Diseases in Pregnancy
CANADIAN JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY(2023)
摘要
Pericardial effusion is the most common manifestation of pericardial diseases during pregnancy. This effusion is benign, mild, or moderate, well tolerated, with spontaneous resolution after delivery; no specific treatment is required. Acute pericarditis is the second most common condition, usually requiring medical therapy during pregnancy. Cardiac tamponade and constrictive pericarditis are rare in pregnancy. Pre-pregnancy counselling is essential in women of childbearing age with recurrent pericarditis to plan pregnancy in a phase of disease quiescence and to review therapy. High-dose aspirin or nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen and indomethacin, can be used up to the 20th week of gestation. Low-dose prednisone (2.5-10 mg/d) can be administered throughout pregnancy. All of these medications, apart from high-dose aspirin, may be used during lactation. Colchicine is compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding, and it can be continued throughout pregnancy to prevent recurrences. Appropriate follow-up with a multidisciplinary team with experience in the field is recommended throughout pregnancy to ensure good maternal and fetal outcomes.
