Webinar Overvi ew

\n

This webinar\, hosted by ACC's Reproduc tive Health and Cardio-Obstetrics Member Section\, will highlight findings from a recent study evaluating preeclampsia's role in pregnancy after hea rt transplant and provide input from a multidisciplinary panel of cardio-o bstetrics experts.

\n

In this webinar\, we will explor e the care of pregnant patients who have undergone a heart transplant prio r to pregnancy. We'll begin by reviewing a relevant case study\, and will then be joined by the authors of the recent study\, "Heart Transplant and Pregnancy: Evaluating the Role of Preecla mpsia in Maternal\, Neonatal\, and Graft Morbidity\," published in JACC: Heart Failure\, who will provide an overview of the study's de sign and key findings.

\n

The session will conclude wi th a live Q&A featuring a multidisciplinary expert panel\, including mater nal-fetal medicine specialists\, heart failure (HF) and transplant physici ans\, HF pharmacists\, and cardio-obstetrics experts.

\n

Together\, they will discuss best practices for managing patients with heart transplants during pregnancy.

\n

Key Obj ectives/Learning Outcomes:

\n
    \n
  1. The risk of preeclampsia and severe maternal morbidity are high in pregnant patien ts with a heart transplant\, which may be partially related to high preval ence of comorbid risk factors such as hypertension.
    2. \n
  2. Among pregna nt patients with a heart transplant\, preeclampsia is associated with wors e neonatal outcomes including lower gestational age at delivery and higher proportion of neonatal intensive care unit stays.
    3. \n
  3. Risk of graft loss is not impacted by development of preeclampsia\, although preeclamps ia may be associated with a shorter time interval to graft loss.
    4. \n
  4. Patients with heart transplant pursuing pregnancy should be counseled on the potential maternal and fetal risks as well as strategies to minimize t hose risks\, ideally preconception.
