Background: Echocardiography is the most widely used diagnostic tool for detecting changes
in cardiac function. Pregnancy is a dynamic process that affects the
cardiovascular system and recent studies have shown that increased parity may
cause irreversible changes in the cardiovascular system. In this study, we aimed
to evaluate echocardiographic changes in women, especially grand multiparous (6
to 9 parities) and great grand multiparous (more than 9 parities) women, after
all their pregnancies had finished. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study and
contained 195 female patients. Women with one delivery were defined as
primiparous (PP), 2 to 5 deliveries were defined as multiparous (MP), 6 to 9
deliveries were defined as grand multiparous (GMP) and more than 9 deliveries
were defined as great grand multiparous (GGMP). Results: The mean age at cardiac
evaluation was 50.6
