From Pregnancy to Plaque: Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes and Impact on Coronary Atherosclerotic Disease

Webinar Overview

During this panel discussion with audience Q&A, experts discuss the association of adverse pregnancy outcomes with significant differences in any coronary atherosclerosis as well as association of adverse pregnancy outcomes with coronary artery stenosis.

Join the ACC Reproductive Health & Cardio-Obstetrics Section for a discussion highlighting the recent article Association between History of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes and Coronary Artery Disease Assessed by Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography.

During this webinar we will discuss:

  • methods and findings of the article, including the association of adverse pregnancy outcomes with significant differences in any coronary atherosclerosis, as well as association of adverse pregnancy outcomes with coronary artery stenosis
  • article findings in the context of optimizing cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention strategies for individuals with adverse pregnancy outcome history
  • implications of this study in assessing the potential mechanisms for increased CVD risk in the population of individuals with adverse pregnancy outcome history
  • nuanced decision making about leveraging cardiac imaging in clinical practice for CVD prevention among individuals with adverse pregnancy outcome history from a multidisciplinary perspective.

The target audience includes general cardiologists, imaging cardiologists, prevention specialists, fellows, internists, primary care providers, obstetricians, and other healthcare team members with an interest in cardio-obstetrics. As always, please read the article ahead of time. Bring your questions and participate in a live Q&A session with the article authors and expert panelists.
