The current Guidelines for the management of cardiovascular disease and pregnancy support health care professionals to manage and care for women with cardiovascular diseases before, during and after pregnancy.

The 2025 guideline is developed by a multidisciplinary Task Force and is an update from the 2018 ESC Guidelines on cardiovascular disease during pregnancy. The new 2025 guideline adds important new information and evidence, update risk-scoring and new chapters on e.g. the organisation and tasks of the Pregnancy Heart Team, updated and new disease specific chapters and a dedicated chapter on long term effects of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
