Statement of Need
CV disease is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the United States. Due to the burden of pre-existing CV disease and risk factors associated with advancing maternal age, maternal morbidity and mortality rates are rising. As treatment paradigms are shifting, there is a need to train members of the CV care team who do not specialize in cardio-obstetrics to ensure better diagnosis and treatment of people of child-bearing age. Cardio-Obstetric Essentials: Team-Based Management of Cardiovascular Disease and Pregnancy offers the full CV care team necessary education in this field.
View the pre-course webinar "A Team Based Approach For When the Highest Risk Cardiovascular Patient Becomes Pregnant" for answers to the "Who", "What", and "How" for when your highest risk cardiovascular patients become pregnant.
Goal
The overall goal is to improve both maternal and fetal outcomes by providing the cardiovascular (CV) care team with contemporary recommendations for the evaluation, clinical management, treatment, and risk stratification of people with, or at risk for, CV disease during pregnancy.
Target Audience
Members of the interprofessional CV care team who are seeking a basic to intermediate level of information on cardio-obstetrics.
