Abstract
122 patients with cardiac disease were compared with 250 controls with respect to the duration of pregnancy and labour, birth weight percentile and Apgar score. The babies of the patients with cardiac disease were light-for-date (18% below the 10th percentile); the mothers, if multiparous, delivered at an earlier gestational age. The patients with cardiac disease did not have shorter labours than the control group. Digoxin administration and the severity of heart disease had no significant effect on these variables.link_to_subscribed_fulltexKeywords
