    AbstractMaternal cardiac disease complicates approximately 1-2% of all pregnancies in the United States. Just as during the antepartum period, in the immediate period surrounding delivery, obstetrical patients with cardiac disease (both congenital and acquired) will have specialized needs, tailored to the patient and her specific lesion. While the basic principles of labor and delivery management protocols are relevant to this subgroup of patients, there are certain areas in which adjustments must be made. These include endocarditis prophylaxis, recent anticoagulation, fluid management, and the need for increased maternal cardiac monitoring. Awareness of the challenges of the intrapartum period combined with a multi-disciplinary approach from anesthesia, cardiology, and the obstetrical provider will optimize the patient for a safe delivery.Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
