Hello,
It seems your wife has Pulmonary hypertension with consequent Right ventricular enlargement . However pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) has not been mentioned.
Pulmonary hypertension have a high risk of morbidity and mortality during pregnancy and may have to go for elective caesarean section. She should be managed jointly with Cardiologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
