How is pregnancy tolerated in a woman with atrial septal defect ?
Pregnancy is usually well tolerated in uncomplicated atrial septal defects; however, when the defect is complicated by significant pulmonary hypertension there is increased maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality and hence pregnancy should be avoided in Eisenmenger syndrome. Rapidly progressive pulmonary vascular disease may develop during pregnancy, therefore routine closure of atrial septal defect is recommended before pregnancy.
