Pregnancy can pose significant cardiovascular risks for women with pre-existing cardiac conditions, including congenital heart disease. This presentation will provide an overview of the complex interplay between pregnancy and cardiac disease, highlighting the risks and challenges associated with pre-existing conditions such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. We will discuss evidence-based treatments and nursing interventions for pregnant women with cardiac health problems, focusing on strategies to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes. By integrating current research and best practices, healthcare providers can deliver high-quality care to this vulnerable population.
