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.
