Summary:

There is a group of women that have a greater chance of pregnancy complications due to pre-existing health conditions or the occurrence of a specific disease related to pregnancy. Although some of these conditions are common, others have a low prevalence and the management raises a number of concerns to health care providers. This book, whose chapters have a similar structure focused on the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features will become an important tool to display the most appropriate clinical management in high risk cases.
