Fifty pregnant patients with acquired and congenital heart disease between 38-41 weeks were randomised into elective induction and spontaneous labour groups only after bishop score was equal to or more than 6.It was concluded that induction of labour with oxytocin is a relatively safe procedure in women with low risk heart disease with NYHA class I and II. It resulted in a similar caesarean delivery rate and was not associated with more maternal and neonatal complications.
