Welcome to the Reproductive Health & Cardio-Obstetrics Member Section – a growing and dynamic community dedicated to advancing cardiovascular care across the reproductive lifespan.

Cardio-obstetrics represents one of the most rapidly evolving frontiers in cardiology, spanning clinical care, research, education, advocacy and interdisciplinary collaboration. This Member Section serves as a central hub for innovation, collaboration and impact, bringing together clinicians, scientists, educators and trainees committed to improving cardiovascular outcomes for all individuals impacted by reproductive health.

Our vision is to transform cardiovascular care across the reproductive continuum – from preconception through pregnancy and into long-term health – by addressing critical gaps in care delivery, training, research and policy. We are committed to fostering an inclusive, collaborative community that elevates diverse perspectives, advances health equity and drives meaningful change across all care settings.

Through this Member Section, we aim to:

  • Advance clinical excellence and implementation of best practices in cardio-obstetrics.
  • Develop innovative educational and training opportunities, particularly for Fellows in Training and Early Career clinicians.
  • Promote collaborative, high-impact research across institutions and disciplines.
  • Lead advocacy efforts to improve access, equity and reproductive cardiovascular health outcomes.

Our mission is to equip members with the knowledge, tools and community needed to deliver exceptional, equitable cardiovascular care across all aspects of reproductive health, recognizing pregnancy as a critical window for lifelong cardiovascular health.
