 Conclusion

• Cardiacevents during pregnancy, while somewhat rare,

can be dangerous for both the mother and the fetus
• Itis important to catch them early, which may not
happen, especially if the mother does not have a history
of heart disease and no one is watching out for them
• Because of this class, my reading level has significantly
increased, and I have learned a lot about research and
analysis
