Prospective Pakistan Registry of Echocardiographic Screening in Asymptomatic Pregnant Women
In a large cohort of pregnant women in Pakistan undergoing routine antenatal echocardiographic screening, almost 4% had structural heart disease. Notably, 2.2% of women had LVSD without active cardiorespiratory symptoms. In select populations, screening can help facilitate early cardiac diagnosis and referral to cardio-obstetrics care.
