AB  - Between January 1991 and August 1992, 62 singleton pregnancies with heart disease 
      were managed at the Wadia Maternity Hospital, Bombay. In 51 (82.3%), the heart 
      disease was of rheumatic origin, while in 11 (17.7%), the disease was 
      nonrheumatic. Thirteen cases of rheumatic disease (25.4%) were graded as Class 
      III or IV, as per New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. Six cases 
      with rheumatic disease had closed mitral commisurotomy done, while none had a 
      prosthetic heart valve. There was no maternal mortality. The average birth weight 
      of neonates born to mothers with Class III or IV rheumatic heart disease was 
      significantly lower (p < 0.05) than the average noted in singleton, normal, 
      uncomplicated, non high risk pregnancies, during this period. There was also a 
      significant difference (p < 0.05) in birth weight between infants born to mothers 
      with NYHA Class I or II and Class III or IV symptoms. No infant had a congenital 
      heart disease. Our findings suggest that though the presence of maternal heart 
      disease did not affect the perinatal outcome, all infants born to mothers with 
      NYHA Class III or IV had intrauterine growth retardation.
