Conditions We Treat

Our Obstetric Cardiology Program is passionate about helping you enjoy the healthiest pregnancy possible. Our doctors are highly trained and can provide expert care for every heart condition. All monitoring, medications and procedures used are safe during pregnancy and while you breastfeed your baby.

Pre-pregnancy counseling: If you have a pre-existing heart condition, we are here to help you understand your cardiovascular health, how to prepare for becoming pregnant and how pregnancy will affect your heart health. 

Cardiovascular care during pregnancy: Our team helps pregnant patients with:

● Congenital cardiac defects or disease
● Acquired cardiac disease, such as rheumatic heart disease or pulmonary hypertension
● Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat)
● Peripartum cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness that begins about a month before childbirth and lasts about five months afterward)
● Cardiac disease secondary to other medical conditions, such as lupus or diabetes
● Connective tissue disorders, including Marfan Syndrome

Fourth trimester cardiovascular care: Our team will also care for you after you give birth by monitoring your heart health closely as your body recovers from pregnancy and childbirth.

If you develop a heart condition during pregnancy, we will care for you during this time. We will develop a long-term plan to reduce your risk of heart disease with frequent care, treatments and lifestyle changes.
