Abstract
Many prosthetic valves are yearly implanted in young women with rheumatic or congenital heart disease. Increased hemodynamic burden due to physiological circulatory changes, increased incidence of thromboembolic events, untoward effects caused by cardiovascular drugs and anticoagulation are major risks associated with pregnancy in a woman with mechanical prosthetic valve (1).
