The modified WHO class is associated with maternal complications in women with congenital heart disease
Pregnancy complications are more common in women with CHD. In women with CHD, the mWHO classification is associated with maternal complications and preterm birth. Thus, large national register data corroborate the advice provided in current guidelines, and the mWHO class is deemed a valuable risk stratification tool in women with CHD.
