A review of the key points of the new European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for the treatment of cardiovascular disease during pregnancy. (1) The new ESC guidelines for the treatment of cardiovascular disease during pregnancy recommend the modified World Health Organization classification of maternal risk. In pharmacological therapy, decision making based on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) drugs in pregnancy categories A-X is no longer recommended. There are also changes in antiarrhythmic therapy as well as anticoagulation and thrombolytic therapy during pregnancy. Changes were made regarding timing of intervention in valvular disease and also in diagnostics of deep vein thrombosis in pregnant women. A few changes have been made regarding the management of hypertension and the pregnancy heart team is introduced.
