Abstract | Cardiovascular disease is now the leading cause of maternal mortality in the industrialised nations. This public health crisis is driven by a variety of factors, including advancing maternal age, increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension and the growing number of adults with congenital heart disease. To meet the needs of this complex and diverse population, the subspecialty of cardio-obstetrics has developed. By its very nature, cardio-obstetrics is a team endeavour and requires contributions from multiple disciplines to deliver optimal care. In this article, we argue that cardio-obstetrics is not a niche issue. The magnitude of the current health challenges makes it imperative that all physicians who care for women of childbearing age have a basic knowledge of how cardiovascular disease can impart risk to women during and beyond pregnancy. We address how to increase awareness within the general medical community so that health care workers are able to recognise potential issues and are aware of how to refer to appropriate specialists. We discuss how to incorporate this within cardiology training so that general cardiologists consider the implications that pregnancy has on their patients. And we reflect on the training of the obstetric cardiologists of tomorrow as this field continues to evolve. |
