OBJECTIVE: To explore the prognostic value of heart rate variety (HRV) on congestive heart failure (CHF) of pregnant women complicated with organic heart disease. METHOD: One hour ambulatary electrocardiography was performed in 61 pregnant women complicated with organic heart dieases at about the 28th-32th week in gestational period and 7 days after delivery respectively. RESULT: 9 patients occured CHF later, their HRV time domain index were significantly decreased (P < 0.001, P < 0.05), compared with patients without CHF as control group. 7 days after delivery, When the condition of CHF patients was improved. Their SD, SD SD value increased. CONCLUSION: HRV has some value of assessing the cardiac reserve and predicting the happen of Congestive Heart Failure in pregnant women complicated with organic heart disease.
