Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for pregnancy complications in women diagnosed with Eisenmenger syndrome (ES), focusing on a group of 15 patients from 1982 to 2013.
- The results showed that while 10 women chose to terminate their pregnancies, 5 who continued faced severe complications like worsening cyanosis and heart symptoms, prompting early cesarean sections.
- The findings indicate that pregnancy in women with ES carries significant risks, necessitating careful monitoring and intervention due to potential heart failure and oxygenation issues that can arise as early as the second trimester.
