Pregnancy and Cardiovascular Conditions

Expert Pregnancy Care for Women with Heart Disease

Cardiovascular disease during pregnancy can pose unique challenges. Increased blood volume and other pregnancy changes can strain the heart, which can complicate existing conditions and introduce new cardiovascular issues. Our Cardiovascular Disease and Pregnancy Program provides the specialized care you need before, during and after pregnancy. Together, our specialists in maternal-fetal medicine (high-risk pregnancy), cardiology, interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery and cardiac nursing form an expert team that is dedicated to delivering the highest level of care for you and your baby.
