Pregnancy and Heart Disease Registry

This survey is designed to assess the management and outcome of pregnancy in patients with structural heart disease (mainly congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease and cardiomyopathy).

This survey has been developed and the case record form designed by a collaboration of the GUCH Working Group and the former Working Group on Valvular Heart Disease.
