AbstractThis report provides an overview of the unique reproductive health issues facing women with congenital heart defects (CHDs) and of the clinical care and professional guidelines on contraception, preconception care, and pregnancy for this population. It describes Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) activities related to surveillance of reproductive health issues among females with CHDs. It also describes CDC's work bringing awareness to physicians who provide care to adolescents and women with CHDs, including obstetrician/gynecologists, about the need for lifelong cardiology care for their patients with CHDs.
