What Are the Risks for Women with Heart Defects During Childbirth?
Childbirth poses significant risks for women with heart defects due to potential hemodynamic changes. The choice between vaginal delivery and cesarean section depends on the individualâs cardiac status. While vaginal delivery is generally preferred for its lower risk of infection and hemorrhage, a planned cesarean may be necessary for women with severe heart conditions. Close monitoring and a tailored anesthesia plan are imperative to mitigate risks.
