Cardio-Obstetrics Program

Pregnancy is usually a joyous journey, but it’s crucial to be aware of potential risks that could impact both the mother and baby.

At Main Line Health, we believe cardio-obstetrics care is essential for women with existing heart conditions or those who develop cardiovascular issues during pregnancy. Pregnancy puts extra stress on the cardiovascular system, and women with heart issues may face increased risks.

Conditions like gestational hypertension and preeclampsia can lead to adverse outcomes and pose risks to the mother’s heart health. Gestational hypertension involves high blood pressure during pregnancy, while preeclampsia is a more serious condition that can affect various organs. These conditions not only impact the pregnancy but may also increase the long-term risk of cardiovascular issues for the mother.

It’s important for expectant mothers to establish regular prenatal care to monitor and manage these conditions early on. By seeking timely medical attention, health care providers can implement preventive measures to ensure a healthier pregnancy and reduce the potential long-term impact on the mother’s heart.

Through a strong collaboration between cardiologists, obstetricians and other health care professionals, we can ensure a holistic and personalized care journey for every woman. Remember, taking proactive steps during pregnancy can contribute to a safer and healthier journey for both you and your baby.
