Pregnancy in women with left-to-right cardiac shunts: Any risk?

An unacceptably high incidence of maternal mortality and morbidity, often due to cardiovascular disease, has been recently identified in developed nations with a call to action to improve maternal health and outcomes for both mother and baby. To improve the health of women during pregnancy it is imp...
