Summary
Many women in the US are having children at a later age than in the past, and with that comes an increased occurrence of common conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol that can put them at risk for heart disease while pregnant or afterwards. In fact, cardiovascular disease is now the leading cause of maternal mortality in the US, with pulmonary hypertension and peripartum cardiomyopathy posing significantly high risks. Dr. Jennifer Haythe joins Advances in Care host Erin Welsh to discuss the prevalence of medically complex pregnancies due to heart disease and the pioneering, multi-disciplinary teamwork she is leading through the cardio-obstetrics program at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia to successfully care for these patients.
