Overview

Although rheumatic heart disease previously accounted for over 90% of cardiovascular disease during pregnancy, recent studies demonstrate that congenital heart disease is now more common. The Royal Infirmary at Edinburgh University reports a decline in the proportion of cardiovascular disease in pregnancy attributable to rheumatic heart diesease as 94% (1928-47), 36% (68-77), 24% (73-77). The disease remains common in less developed nations.
