“…For pregnant patients, 1.5T scanners may be preferred over 3T due to a higher specific absorption rate with 3T, which could have a potential impact on fetal development. However, a recent study found no adverse effects with regard to neonatal hearing or fetal growth in healthy neonates exposed to 3T MRI at any gestational age …”

“…CMRI in any trimester with magnet strength of 3 Tesla is not associated with increased risk of harm to the fetus or in early childhood [63,64]. Maternal exposure to gadolinium at any stage of pregnancy is associated with increased risk of stillbirth or neonatal death, as well as an increased risk of childhood inflammatory, rheumatologic and infiltrative skin conditions [63].…”

Profound physiological changes in the maternal cardiovascular system occur shortly after conception. These changes may impact upon the investigation of healthy and complicated pregnancies. Additionally, concerns regarding fetal exposure to ionising radiation are important considerations in maternal testing. This manuscript reviews the important physiological changes pertinent to the investigation of maternal cardiovascular disease in pregnancy.

“…CT of the chest can be the primary method for identifying cases of COVID-19; it provides a low dose to the fetus and can be reasonably used during pregnancy [47]. Magnetic resonance imaging can be performed at any stage of pregnancy without contrast for the differential diagnosis of lung damage [48]. Echocardiography is recommended for pregnant women, women in labor and women in childbirth with signs of respiratory failure.…”

An issue of the novel coronavirus infection spreading is currently in the first place among others in the list of the international medical community. Due to lack of information, conflicting research findings, multicomponent effect of the virus on the body host, as well as various consequences that the virus triggers in the body, now every medical specialty does study the viral attack pathogenesis. Recent months showed that vascular complications are the most severe in the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and are the main cause of death in the patients. The mechanisms of vascular complications are complex and affect both the hemostatic system and immune responses, “inflammatory storm”, disorders of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, endotheliopathy, etc.Due to the leading role of vascular complications in the viral infection pathogenesis, several groups of patients are at extra risk, including pregnant women, patients with a burdened obstetric history, with hereditary thrombophilia and antiphospholipid syndrome, and patients after in vitro fertilization (IVF). In this category of pregnant women, use of low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) is particularly important for both prevention of vascular and obstetric complications, and for pathogenetic therapy of COVID-19.
