In obstetrical profile, 10 (43.5%) patients had more than one pregnancy; 11 (47.8%) had presented a birth; 21 (91.3%) had no abortion; 12 (54.6%) were between four and nine consultations; 16 (72.7%) underwent cesarean section. Among the identified heart disease, 5 (21.73%) patients presented Arrhythmia and 5 (21.73%) Tachycardia; 4 (17.39%) patients presented Mitral Regurgitation, however among pregnant women studied found 13 diseases.
