Abstract:

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a progressive cardiovascular disease caused by multiple factors, with poor prognosis. Pregnancy with pulmonary arterial hypertension is more prone to serious complications such as right heart failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension crisis, malignant arrhythmia, and cardiogenic shock, with a high mortality rate. There is currently no standardized diagnosis and treatment guideline for pregnancy complicated with pulmonary arterial hypertension. In recent years, the diagnosis, treatment, and management of pregnancy complicated with pulmonary arterial hypertension have received attention. This article provides an important explanation of the diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy complicated with pulmonary arterial hypertension, in order to provide reference for clinical practice.

Key words: pulmonary arterial hypertension, pregnancy, risk factors
