AB  - The staging of pregnant women with heart disease into four groups according to 
      the recommendations of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) cannot express 
      exactly the danger of sudden cardiac deterioration threatening these patients 
      during gestation.--This classification is a subjective one, depending on the 
      complaints of the patients only.--About 100 women with different heart diseases 
      have been tested by ergometric bicycle work during pregnancy. The results have 
      been used for classification according to the NYHA scheme.--The functional 
      endurance capacity tested by bicycle work is a rather objective method. It allows 
      to differentiate between stage II and III (NYHA) exactly. This decision has to be 
      made often in the treatment of pregnant women with heart failure, but it remains 
      uncertain, if only complaints and clinical state can be made use of.
