Diagnosis
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

❑ Magnetic resonance imaging or clinical pelvimetry reveals CPD and malpresentation.
❑ Ultrasonography shows pelvic masses that interfere with vaginal delivery and fetal position.
❑ Auscultation of fetal heart rate (by fetoscope, Doppler unit, or electronic fetal monitor) determines acute fetal intolerance of labor.

Cardiovascular disease in pregnancy:
Diagnosis
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
A diastolic murmur, cardiac enlargement, a systolic murmur of grade 3/6 intensity, and severe arrhythmia suggest cardiovascular disease. Determination of the disease’s extent and cause may necessitate electrocardiography, echocardiography (for valvular disorders such as rheumatic heart disease), or other studies. X-rays show cardiac enlargement and pulmonary congestion. Cardiac catheterization should be postponed until after delivery, unless surgery is necessary.
