- Abstract
The paper is devoted to the study of the course of pregnancy in women with mitral valve prolapse of various severity. With progression of pregnancy (especially the period from II to III trimester) symptoms increase. This is manifested as appearance or intensification of signs of neuro-circulatory dystonia (characteristic for patients with mitral valve prolapse irrespective of pregnancy). However these signs do not interfere with normal delivery.
