Twenty-eight women with different types of heart disease were examined during pregnancy, labor, and the puerperium, and at about 8 months after delivery. Work-up of these patients included a wide variety of physiological tests. During pregnancy, the total blood volume and total amount of hemoglobin showed the ‘-These

same mean increases as in normal pregnant women; 4 weeks after delivery stationary and normal values were found. The mean hemoglobin concentration was approximately normal during and after pregnancy. The increase of radiographic heart volume was slightly, but not significantly, greater in the cardiac patients than in normal women. After delivery the heart volume of the cardiac patients diminished more slowly than normally, and stationary values were not found until several months after delivery. The physical working capacity in the groups of patients with septal defects, pulmonary stenosis, and aortic valvular disease remained approximately constant during and after pregnancy, except in 2 cases complicated by toxemia. In the group of mitral valvular disease, pure or combined with aortic valvular disease, there was
