Maternal morbidity and mortality are at all-time highs, with cardiovascular disease the most prevalent etiology. MFM physicians must be proficient in the management of a variety of cardiovascular diagnoses. Providing comprehensive antepartum and peripartum care requires familiarity with management algorithms and area of ongoing controversy. This course will highlight the current challenges and solutions to treat cardiac disease in pregnancy.  

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education through the joint providership of Global Learning Collaborative (GLC) and SMFM. GLC is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Global Learning Collaborative designates this enduring material for a maximum of 7 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
