Abstract

The advent of heart-surgery in obstetrics has been determinant, in as much as it has improved therapeutic treatment and above all it has resulted in achievement which were impossible 30 years ago. The concepts already put forward by the school of cardio-obstetric surgery of Turin on haemodynamics in pregnancy and childbirth as biologic risk factors for the patient with a bad heart continue to be upheld. The results of Actis Dato Group's in cardiac surgery are reported. Almost all types of congenital and acquired cardiopathies in their relationships to pregnancy are described. 1750 Pregnancy cases in 997 heart diseased women are analised. The cooperation with the obstetrical team is stressed.
