AB  - Less  than  5%  (0.2%-4%)  of  pregnancies  in  the  western  world  are  complicated  by  cardiovascular  diseases;1  however,  the  incidence  of  cardiovascular  disease  in  pregnancy  is  increasing.  This  increase  is  due  in  part  to  the  increasing  prevalence  of  cardiovascular  risk  factors  such  as  obesity,  hypertension,  and  diabetes,  as  well  as  increasing  age  at  first  pregnancy  and  improved  survival  of  patients  with  congenital  heart  disease,  with  many  of  these  patients  now  reaching  childbearing  age.  Because  of  this,  cardiovascular  disease  is  now  one  of  the  major  causes  of  nonobstetric  maternal  mortality  in  the  western  world.
