1. The incidence of heart disease in pregnancy was 0.37%. 2. Mitral stenosis was predominated (29.4%) 3. The age distribution was predominated in the age 26-30 (41.1%) 4. Heart disease occurred mainly in the primigravida (32.4%) 5. Functional capacity of the heart was mainly in class I. 6. The chief comlaints were dyspnea, edema and palpitation. 7. Spontaneous vaginal delivery was undertaken in 19 cases (52.8%) and instrumental delivery was in 7 cases (30.5%) 8. The incidence of prematurity was 30.6%. 9. Seventy five percent of cases was complicated among which 30.8% cases was complicated by cardiac failure and 17.3% was complicated by toxemias of pregnancy with heart failure. 10. Digitalization was undertaken in 29 cases (85.3%) 11. No maternal mortality was noted in this study.
