Maternal heart disease may remain undiagnosed till the second trimester of pregnancy, presenting frequently after 20 weeks of gestation, due to increased demands imposed on the cardiovascular system and pose a serious risk to the life of mother and fetus. Management of critically ill parturient with heart disease must be tailored according to individual assessment of the patient and requires a strategic, multidisciplinary, and protocol-based approach. A dedicated obstetric intensive care unit (ICU) and team effort are the need of the hour. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Garg R, Hariharan UR, Malik I.
