Managing cardiovascular disease in pregnant people: Defining the pregnancy heart team<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for pregnant patients. A significant portion of cardiac morbidity and mortality is preventable and related to poor or delayed recognition of clinical warning signs and oversights in management. This review discusses the practical aspects of the pregnancy heart team’s approach to caring for pregnant people with cardiovascular disease.”<\/div>\n

Development and Validation of a Predictive Model for Maternal Cardiovascular Morbidity Events in Patients With Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a major contributor to maternal morbidity, mortality, and accelerated cardiovascular (CV) disease. Comorbid conditions are likely important predictors of CV risk in pregnant people. Currently, there is no way to predict which people with HDP are at risk of acute CV complications. We developed and validated a predictive model for all CV events and for heart failure, renal failure, and cerebrovascular events specifically after HDP.”<\/div>\n

Postpartum care in a cardio-obstetric clinic after preterm preeclampsia: patient and healthcare provider perspectives<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“Despite the significant disruption and health implications of preterm preeclampsia with severe features for birthing people, little is known about how the system of postpartum care might be strengthened for affected families. Multidisciplinary cardio-obstetric clinics are emerging; however, there is limited research on patient and healthcare provider perspectives.”<\/div>\n

Development and implementation of a pregnancy heart team at a Southeastern United States tertiary hospital: a qualitative study<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“The United States has seen a significant rise in maternal mortality and morbidity associated with cardiovascular disease over the past 4 decades. Contributing factors may include an increasing number of parturients with comorbid conditions, a higher rate of pregnancy among women of advanced maternal age, and more patients with congenital heart disease who survive into childbearing age and experiencing pregnancy. In response, national medical organizations have recommended the creation of multidisciplinary obstetric-cardiac teams, also known as pregnancy heart teams, to provide comprehensive preconception counseling and coordinated pregnancy management that extend through the postpartum period.”<\/div>\n

Unilateral Absent Pulmonary Artery in Pregnancy: A Case Report and Systematic Literature Review<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“Unilateral absence of a pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a rare congenital malformation associated with hemoptysis, pulmonary hypertension, and infection. Little is known about the impact on pregnancy outcomes. We sought to synthesize the existing literature on pregnancy outcomes in patients with maternal UAPA.”<\/div>\n

Severe Maternal Morbidity According to Mode of Delivery Among Pregnant Patients With Cardiomyopathies<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“Women with cardiomyopathies are at risk for pregnancy complications. The optimal mode of delivery in these patients is guided by expert opinion and limited small studies.”<\/div>\n

Maternal Morbidity According to Mode of Delivery Among Pregnant Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“Patients with pulmonary hypertension have a high risk of maternal morbidity and mortality. It is unknown if a trial of labor carries a lower risk of morbidity in these patients compared to a planned cesarean delivery. The objective of this study was to examine the association of delivery mode with severe maternal morbidity events during delivery hospitalization among patients with pulmonary hypertension.”<\/div>\n
