Cardiovascular disease is a major contributor to maternal mortality in the U.S. Cardiometabolic comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and hyperlipidemia are associated with both short- and long-term cardiovascular complications in the pregnant patient. Optimizing cardiometabolic health prior to conception and providing longitudinal care in patients who develop cardiometabolic complications during may mitigate the risk this risk. This webinar will discuss how to assess and treat cardiometabolic disease in the pregnant patient and explore the role of post-partum clinics in closing gap on longitudinal care in this vulnerable population.
