The intensive care is necessary for the pregnancy of cardiac patients, so we studied the early indicatory signs about their nursing care. 17 pregnant cases of 15 patients (before pregnancy, their cardiac functions were NYHA I in 15 cases, II in 2 cases) were divided into three groups according to their cardiac status in the course of pregnancy as follows: Cardian failure, Intermediate (with some disorders, but not resulted cardiac failure) and Normal. The course of these three groups were compared with those statistically analyzed of our 212 healthy pregnant women.
In the Cardiac failure, various disorders appeared in the earlier stage and were multiple, and lasted more continuous. Abnormal increase of body weight, atypical increase of mean blood pressure, and atypical decrease of pulse pressure were prospective early signs for succeeding cardiac failure. These signs are valuable light informations for nursing care.
