- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 29-year-old pregnant woman who was presented for cardiologic evaluation at 28 weeks of pregnancy, being known since infancy with a complex cardiac malformation. The patient was asymptomatic until two weeks before presentation, when she started to describe dyspnea at important efforts, coincidental with progression of pregnancy. A peak velocity of 4.7 m/s and a mean gradient of 56 mm Hg has been showed by wave Doppler analysis of transaortic flow.
