Patients with subaortic stenosis typically require ongoing monitoring by a dedicated healthcare team, such as the experts with the UK Adult Congenital Heart Program. Regular checkups, echocardiograms and other diagnostic tests help assess the progression of the condition so that treatment can be adjusted as needed. The minimum length of time recommended between visits is two years. But some patients, especially those who have recently had surgery, will need more frequent appointments.
Depending upon your condition and the severity of treatment and symptoms, pregnancy needs to be monitored closely. Sometimes, it is not recommended at all. If you are thinking about having a baby, please talk to your doctor. At UK HealthCare, we will work with you to ensure you and your baby remain healthy. Our experts work closely with a team of OB-GYN specialists dedicated to managing high-risk pregnancy.
