Obstetrics Cardiology

With risk factors for CVD continuing to rise, early identification and management of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and obstructive sleep apnea are necessary for prevention. Pregnancy is a natural stress test for women with risk factors who may be predisposed to CVD and offers a unique opportunity to not only recognize the disease but also implement effective and long-lasting strategies for prevention. Myopathy, arrhythmias, cardiac failure, thromboembolic disease, aortic disease, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, myocardial infarction, thromboembolic disease, and cerebrovascular illnesses are only a few of the cardiac issues that can occur during pregnancy. Increased cardiac output, heart rate, and vascular volume are all signs of cardiovascular changes during pregnancy, along with a sharp decrease in vascular resistance. Cardiac surgery has mortality rates for the mother and fetus that are about 10% and 30%, respectively, making it intrinsically risky for both.
