SAFE PREGNANCY MANAGEMENT FOR EXPECTANT MOTHERS WITH HEART CONDITIONS AT HFH

Dr. Pham Thu Thuy, Clinical and Interventional Cardiology Department, Hanoi French Hospital (HFH), shared: “Women with cardiovascular conditions need comprehensive evaluation before pregnancy and close monitoring by a multidisciplinary team throughout the pregnancy to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby.”

Specifically, collaboration among obstetricians, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, and hematologists is essential to:

• Conduct a comprehensive risk assessment for the mother and fetus and develop a detailed pregnancy monitoring plan
• Adjust cardiac medications to manage the mother’s condition while avoiding adverse effects on the fetus
• Detect and manage complications such as arrhythmias, heart failure, and preeclampsia early, especially in the later stages of pregnancy
• Monitor fetal development and screen for genetic conditions
• Provide timely interventions in emergency situations
• Determine the optimal time for delivery, closely monitor labor, and promptly address potential complications during childbirth
• Manage and address postpartum issues for both mother and baby
