Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of non-obstetric maternal morbidity and mortality, with increasing prevalence over the last two decades. It affects close to 1% of pregnancies in the developed world and 4% in the developing world. Although rheumatic heart disease comprises the most common maternal cardiac disease in the developing world, congenital heart disease is the most common maternal cardiac disease in the Western world. Optimal care for pregnant patients is best delivered by a multidisciplinary team which includes specialties such as cardiologists, maternal–fetal medicine specialists, anesthesiologists, geneticists, cardiovascular interventionalists and cardiac surgeons. The increased prevalence has led to the development and growth of the cardio-obstetrics field and related clinics worldwide.
