Cardio-Obstetrics Essentials: Team-Based Management of Cardiovascular Disease and Pregnancy

The American College of Cardiology is excited to invite you to join Cardio-Obstetrics Essentials: Team-Based Management of Cardiovascular Disease and Pregnancy, taking place Nov. 1 – 3 in Washington, DC and virtually! This interprofessional course will provide you with current recommendations for the evaluation, clinical management, treatment, and risk stratification of people with, or at risk for, cardiovascular disease during pregnancy.  

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the United States and due to the burden of pre-existing cardiovascular disease and risk factors associated with advancing maternal age, maternal morbidity and mortality rates are rising. Now more than ever, there is a growing need for the entire care team to better understand the impact of diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease on people of child-bearing age.

This is your chance to explore a dynamic lineup of sessions led by Chair Natalie Bello, MD, MPH, FACC and Vice Chair Deirdre J. Mattina, MD, FACC along with a faculty comprised of expert cardiologists, maternal-fetal specialists and cardio-obstetric team members. Sessions include:

• Building a Cardio Obstetrics Service Line/Program
• Addressing Disparities in Maternal Health Through a Diversified Workforce
• Update on Transcatheter Interventions in Pregnancy and Leftsided Valve Degeneration in Young Women
