Valvular heart disease in young women is most commonly due to rheumatic heart disease, congenital abnormalities, or previous endocarditis and may increase the maternal and fetal risks associated with pregnancy. The likelihood of an adverse outcome is related to the type and severity of maternal valvular disease and the resulting abnormalities of functional capacity, left ventricular function, a...
