Cardiac disease is major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity in pregnant women. In developed country, CHD is more prevalent, whereas in developing nation RHD is major cause of maternal heart disease.

RHD was present in 48.07% and CHD in 46.15%. Mitral regurgitation (28.68%) was the commonest valvular disease. Spontaneous vaginal delivery was seen in 50% and cesarean section in 50%. CONCLUSION: Pregnancy with the heart disease is associated with significant cardiac and neonatal complications, despite the improved obstetric and cardiac care.
