Eagle’s Eye View: Preexisting CVD on the Rise Among Pregnant Women
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the social drivers behind the rise in heart disease mortality in California. He then explores the prevalence of preexisting cardiometabolic comorbidities and cardiovascular disease among pregnant women. Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses a recent prospective cohort study of patients who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and experience new-onset atrial fibrillation (AFib), and how the burden after surgery is very low, especially after 30 days.
