Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterised by thrombotic and/or obstetric manifestations with persistent antiphospholipid antibodies. Diagnosis involves confirming the persistence of antiphospholipid antibodies in symptomatic patients, using validated classification criteria as a guide. The likelihood of obtaining false-positive or false-negative test results in certain settings, and the lack of standardisation between laboratory methods, are important considerations.

In severe cases, it causes haemodynamic instability and can lead to cardiac arrest due to obstructive shock. Patients with acute PE can be risk stratified to guide their monitoring and treatment; this article focuses on intermediate- and high-risk PE.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum in women with prosthetic heart valves (PHV), covering 88 pregnancies from January 2011 to December 2022.
  • Of the pregnancies, 79 resulted in live births, with higher miscarriage rates in the mechanical valve prosthesis (MVP) group compared to the biological valve prosthesis (BVP) group, alongside notable thrombotic complications predominantly in the MVP group.
  • While effective anti-factor Xa activity control was noted to reduce thrombotic events, the study highlighted a concerning rate of postpartum hemorrhagic complications, suggesting a need for revising anticoagulant therapy protocols.
