Emerging Fields in Cardiology: Cardio-obstetrics

CDC data found the #1 cause of US pregnancy related deaths was “other cardiovascular conditions”! Studies show growing numbers of pregnant patients have chronic conditions that increase their risk of complications during and after pregnancy. This is a heterogenous population with varied maternal cardiovascular and obstetric risks over time!

Please join us for an in-depth review of CARDIO OBSTETRICS!

You will receive an expert overview of contemporary cardio obstetrics. After this webinar, you will be able to:

• Identify pregnancy related cardiovascular changes
• Manage high risk cardiovascular pregnancies
• Name maternal and fetal risks
• Collaborate with maternal fetal medicine obstetricians to reduce cardiovascular complications

ALL cardiologists and cardiovascular team members will benefit from this learning activity. An application has been submitted for CME/CNE.
