Abstract
As the prevalence of adults with palliated congenital heart disease continues to increase, so, too, does the number of these patients who will become pregnant. Practicing physicians need to be familiar with the impact that normal physiologic changes associated with pregnancy and delivery has on patients with palliated congenital heart disease. The physiologic impact of pregnancy on a patient with palliated cyanotic congenital heart disease and the management of her delivery are presented.
