Abstract
Cardiac disease in pregnancy is an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Rheumatic heart disease and congenital heart disease are the commonest cardiac problems in our country. Here we report a 25-year-old lady who presented with 36 weeks of pregnancy with severe mitral stenosis with grade II mitral regurgitation and pulmonary hypertension. With combined treatment of cardiologist and obstetrician the patient delivered a healthy baby without any complication. She was discharged on 7th postnatal day with satisfactory condition.
