    AbstractThe current update of the ESC (European Society of Cardiology) guidelines on managing cardiovascular diseases during pregnancy provides instructions for doctors in daily practice. Heart diseases are the most common reason for maternal death during pregnancy in western countries. Among other things, the following topics are dealt with: congenital heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, aortic and valvular diseases as well as arrhythmias and hypertensive disorders. Compared to the guidelines from 2011 some changes have been made regarding the recommendations to classify maternal risk according to the modified World Health Organization (mWHO) classification or in recommendations on anticoagulation for low-dose and high-dose requirements of vitamin K antagonists. The main focus of this summary of recent recommendations is the impact on the anesthesia management in order to provide responsible anesthesiologists with relevant background knowledge.
