The purpose of this article was to examine reproductive health issues for women with congenital structural abnormalities of the heart. Because of surgical advances and innovations in healthcare, infants with congenital heart disease often live now into adulthood. Women with congenital heart disease have reported the desire to have children but expressed concern about fertility and the health consequences of pregnancy. Although many women with congenital heart disease are able to give birth without adverse outcomes, life-threatening complications can occur. Best practices for the care of women with congenital heart disease are grounded in an understanding of how cardiac defects may affect pregnancy and in communicating the implications of cardiac defects for reproductive health to support informed decision making.
本文的目的是研究患有先天性心脏结构异常的女性的生殖健康问题。由于外科手术的进步和医疗保健方面的创新，患有先天性心脏病的婴儿如今常常能活到成年。患有先天性心脏病的女性表示希望生育，但对生育能力以及怀孕对健康的影响表示担忧。尽管许多患有先天性心脏病的女性能够顺利分娩而无不良后果，但仍可能发生危及生命的并发症。对患有先天性心脏病的女性进行护理的最佳做法基于对心脏缺陷如何影响妊娠的理解，以及就心脏缺陷对生殖健康的影响进行沟通，以支持做出明智的决策。
