Heart disease and pregnancy are two conditions that are handled commonly by a medical practitioner, and yet it is surprising to find that the influence which one has on the other is often not clearly understood. It would seem reasonable, therefore, to review briefly current concepts on the changes in haemodynamics that occur during pregnancy and labour, and thereafter consider the effects of pregnancy on the diseased heart.

A CAJM article on the close relationship between pregnancy and heart problems.
