Valvular heart diseases
during pregnancy are complex with symptoms likely to affect patient¡¯s life
quality, and endanger both mother¡¯s and child¡¯s life. Our survey aims at studying
the combination of valvular heart diseases with pregnancy at University Hospital
Yalgado Ouedraogo. This study was a cross-sectional study conducted from January
1st, 2015
to March 31st, 2016 in the delivery room
of gynecology and obstetrics department. Inclusion criteria were: the presence
of acquired and known valvular heart diseases followed-up or not; suspected
valvular heart disease confirmed by a Doppler echocardiography and patient¡¯s
consent to take part to the study. Twelve patients were involved in the study.
The average age was 27.5 ¡À 3.9 years (extremes of 21 and 34 years). The average
gestational age at the delivery time was 35 ¡À 4.7 weeks of amenorrhea with
extremes reaching 25 and 39 weeks. None of the study patients were previously followed-up
and treated for valvular heart diseases before pregnancy. Mitral disease was
found among four patients. Seven cases had vaginal delivery. Two cases of
spontaneous abortion were observed. We had seven hypotrophy newborns with an
average weight of 2360 g at
birth. Two patients suffering from congestive heart failure with a full type
arrhythmia by atrial fibrillation were hospitalized in cardiology department.
No death was reported during our study. Rheumatic valvular diseases are common
among pregnant women. The cardiologist should plan pregnancies of patients
suffering from valvular heart diseases. Treatment of those patients goes
through the prevention of acute rheumatoid arthritis including a joint
collaboration between cardiologists and gynecologists.
