PRESAP: Prospective Pakistan Registry of Echocardiographic Screening in Asymptomatic Pregnant Women
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Consecutive obstetric patients attending routine antenatal visits were enrolled in this ongoing registry. A standardized 2D transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) protocol was employed. Ejection fraction (EF) was quantified using biplane Simpson's method.

Detailed Description
Consecutive obstetric patients attending routine antenatal visits were enrolled in this ongoing registry. A standardized 2D transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) protocol was employed, including parasternal long and short, apical 4- and 2-chamber views. Continuous wave and pulse wave Doppler were used to assess left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradients. Left ventricular (LV) function was quantified using biplane Simpson's method and visually assessed by two independent readers. Patients with significant valve disease or congenital heart disease underwent complete TTE. Those diagnosed with LV dysfunction or other cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were referred to the Cardio-Obstetrics clinic for further management and long-term follow-up.
