Introduction
Valvular heart disease (VHD) in pregnant women, whether due to congenital or acquired etiologies poses a challenge to clinicians and their patients. Significant valve disease, which can affect a single valve or several valves, increases the risk of pregnancy to the mother and fetus and requires a careful preconception risk assessment and, subsequently during pregnancy, specialized care to minimize maternal and fetal morbidityand mortality. Congenital cardiac lesions are 3 times higher than acquired, adult – onset abnormalities in pregnant patients. In this study, we aim to see the risk factors of low birth weight among pregnancy complicated with congenital valvular heart disease in the top referral hospital in Indonesia.
