Cardio-Obstetrics in the CICU: An Introductory Guide

Optimal care requires a broad multidisciplinary team of experts and a deep understanding of the interplay between the hemodynamics of pregnancy and the clinical manifestations of varied cardiac disease states. An article authored by Jenna Nichole Skowronski, MD, FACC, and published in the US Cardiology Review serves as an introductory guide to cardio-obstetrics care in the CICU. Read the full article.
