Mario Lumbreras Marquez, Editorial Board Member at American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology MFM, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“New open-access publication in the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics ijgo Journal
Maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnant women with echocardiographically high probability of pulmonary arterial hypertension
In this retrospective cohort of 62 pregnancies (60 women) at a quaternary referral center (2015–2022):
- Cardiac complications occurred in 17.7%, mainly heart failure; maternal mortality was 6.5%.
- Fetal growth restriction occurred in 27.7%; median gestational age at delivery was 37.1 weeks.
- Exploratory analysis: a PASP threshold of 64 mmHg predicted cardiac complications (AUC 0.749), to be interpreted cautiously given sample size and scope/design.
Maternalmortality was lower than historically reported, but the burden of cardiac complications remained substantial—underscoring the need for multidisciplinary care and counseling in this high-risk population
Grateful to our team and collaborating institutions.”
