Q

Functional grading of heart disease?

A

•Grade I: No limitation of physical activity- asymptomatic with
normal activity
• Grade II: Mild limitation of physical activity -Symptoms with
normal physical activity
• Grade III: Marked limitation of physical activity -Symptoms

• Grade IV: Severe limitation of physical activity- symptoms at
rest

Q

How are you gonna manage pregnant women with the cardiac disease ? require

A

• High index of suspicion

Q

Preconceptional counseling 4.

18
Q

When Medical termination of pregnancy use?

  1. early pregnancy in high-risk group only ( 1. Primary pulmonary HTN, 2. Eisenmenger syndrome, 3. Coarctation of aorta, 4. Marfan syndrome with dilated aortic root ).
  2. Only in 1st trim, better before 8 weeks.
  3. Suction evacuation preferred.
  4. MTP also carries risk for life.
19
Q

Patient with the cardiac disease what’s the best method for the medical termination?

A

Suction evacuation.

20
Q

Antenatal care for pregnant women with the cardiac disease 6

A

• Clear counseling of risk and prognosis.
• ANC every 2 weeks up to 30 weeks then weekly.
• On each visit-note-pulse rate, BP, cough dyspnea, weight, anemia, auscultate lung bases, re-evaluate functional grade.
• Ensure treatment compliance.
• Exclude fetal congenital anomaly by level-III USG and fetal ECHO at 20 weeks in maternal congenital heart disease.
• Fetal monitoring.

21
Q

The pregnant women with cardiac diseases, what you gonna use as a treatment Anticoagulants

Heparin and the first 12 weeks to decrease risk.

22
Q

What’s the advantage of the heparin?

A

Doesn’t cross the placenta.

23
Q

What’s the disadvantage for Heparin?

A

maternal osteoporosis, hemorrhage, thrombocytopenia, thrombosis

24
Q

Why we doesn’t use Warfarin in the pregnant woman with the cardiac disease?

A

abnormalities of fetal bone and cartilage formation

25
Q

What’s you gonna use for pregnant women with cardiac disease, heparin, or warfarin?

A

Heparin in the first 12 weeks to the decrease the risk.

26
Q

How you gonna treat pregnant women with prosthetic valves?

A
  1. Heparin in the first trimester.
  2. Then converted to warfare at 13 weeks tell 36 weeks.
  3. Then converted to heparin at 36 weeks till delivery.
27
Q

Special Advice pregnant women with cardiac disease? 8.

A

• Rest, Avoid undue excitement/strain • Diet/ Iron and vitamins
• Hygiene, dental care to prevent any infection
• Dietary salt restriction (4-6g/d)
• Avoid smoking, drugs – betamimetics
• Early diagnosis and treatment of PIH, infections
• Therapeutic/prophylactic cardiac interventions as applicable :
1. Benzathine Penicillin 12 lacs at 3 weeks - to prevent recurrence of
rheumatic fever
2. Diuretics, Beta Blockers, Digitalis, Anticoagulants.
