Abstract
Abstract Objectives The population of female heart transplant recipients of reproductive age is increasing and pregnancy follow-up of these patients is important. Case presentation A 30-year-old patient who had a heart transplant due to viral myocarditis became pregnant spontaneously. A close follow-up by a multidisciplinary team allowed a normal pregnancy without maternal or fetal complications and the delivery of a healthy infant. Conclusions Successful pregnancy outcomes are possible in women who had a heart transplant. Careful and close surveillance by a multidisciplinary team is mandatory.
期刊介绍:
Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The objective of the new journal is very similar to that of JPM. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice esteem especially exemplary reports of cases that reveal specific manifestations of diseases, its progress or its treatment. We consider case reports and series to be brief reports describing an isolated clinical case or a small number of cases. They may describe new or uncommon diagnoses, unusual outcomes or prognosis, new or infrequently used therapies and side effects of therapy not usually discovered in clinical trials. They represent the basic concept of experiences for studies on representative groups for further evidence-based research. The potential roles of case reports and case series are: Recognition and description of new diseases Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial) Study of mechanisms of disease Medical education and audit Recognition of rare manifestations of disease.
