[Heart disease and pregnancy--results of consequent interdisciplinary management].

In this paper it has been published about the interdisciplinary cooperation during the treatment of 143 pregnant women having heart diseases. In spite of a partial centralisation this number only 0.46 per cent of all deliveries in a period of 16 years. 32.1 per cent of the cases are congenital heart diseases and 46.2 per cent acquired heart diseases. In the acquired heart diseases mitral failures prevailed. Pacemakers have to be applied preventively only in 6.3 per cent. NYHA-stages did not impair during pregnancy. Vaginal operative delivery is compulsory only in two of seven cases heart diseases indicated a cesarean section. Consequent early get-up in the puerperium is important in NYHA-stages I-III. Maternal mortality was 0. Perinatal mortality was 0.7% (one child died antenatally).
