Abstract

The perioperative anaesthetic management of a pregnant patient with pre-existing cardiac disease undergoing caesarean section poses a challenge for an anaesthesiologist. The anaesthesiologist must have the knowledge of its pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic evaluations and anaesthetic modalities and various drug interactions during anaesthesia. This review summarises the current management of a parturient with cardiac disease requiring surgical delivery.
