Pregnancy in women with Ebstein's anomaly is high-risk, with significant rates of miscarriage and infant death. Careful cardiologic monitoring and a multidisciplinary team are crucial for successful outcomes.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Medical Genetics

Background:

Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart condition affecting the tricuspid valve.
Pregnancy in women with Ebstein's anomaly presents unique challenges due to maternal and fetal risks.

Observation:

A study observed 11 pregnancies in three patients with Ebstein's anomaly.
Outcomes included 6 spontaneous abortions, 2 neonatal deaths, and 3 successful term pregnancies.

Findings:

Ventricular overloading poses the primary risk to the mother.
Arterial hypoxemia and arrhythmias are significant risks for the fetus.
Pregnancy necessitates high-risk management with continuous fetal monitoring.

Implications:
