Women with CHD had a temporal decrease in RV systolic function and RV-PA coupling, and these changes were associated with PRAO. Further studies are required to delineate the aetiology of deterioration in RV-PA coupling during pregnancy, and the long-term implications of right heart dysfunction observed in the postnatal period.
