This article, published in the International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease in March 2025, discusses pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy, historically associated with poor outcomes, and provides recent evidence suggesting that the prognosis varies based on underlying cause and severity. The authors emphasize the need for individualized care through a multidisciplinary team approach at tertiary centers, covering key aspects of management including preconception counseling, addressing pregnancy-induced hemodynamic changes, the maternal and fetal risks of pregnancy in women with pulmonary hypertension, and how these can be minimised by close antenatal, intrapartum and post-partum care and the development of individualised pregnancy plans.
