About the Conference

Currently, cardiovascular disease is one of the highest causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Pregnancy places a large cardiovascular stress on even a young healthy woman. For many women it is often their first interaction with a health care system, and previously undiagnosed cardiac conditions are discovered for the first time. For other women, new unexpected cardiovascular conditions arise, often in a catastrophic fashion. It is also a time when interdisciplinary management between primary care providers, obstetricians, and cardiologists is critical.
