Overview

As previously mentioned, rheumatic heart disease remains prevalent in developing countries but is less common in Western countries; as a result Western countries see less mitral stenosis complicating pregnancy. Bicuspid aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, aortic regurgitation, and prosthetic valves can all be problematic during pregnancy due to physiologic hemodynamic changes.
