AB With  advances  in  medical  and  obstetric  care,  more  and  more  women  with  cardiac  disease  are  able  to  become  pregnant  and  deliver  a  viable  fetus.  This  chapter  is  divided  into  four  main  sections  corresponding  to  four  types  of  cardiac  or  cardiopulmonary  disease  that  women  may  present  with  during  pregnancy:  valvular  disease,  congenital  heart  disease,  cardiomyopathy,  and  pulmonary  arterial  hypertension.  Although  the  incidence  of  ischemic/coronary  heart  disease  may  be  increasing,  we  will  not  discuss  it  in  this  chapter,  because  there  is  much  less  experience  and  literature  to  guide  therapeutic  strategies  in  this  area.
