How Pregnancy Affects the Heart
Pregnancy brings many changes to a woman’s body -- physically and hormonally. Many of these changes can present with symptoms or signs that may raise concerns of underlying cardiac conditions. Additionally, many women who have certain medical conditions may have a worsening of issues with pregnancy involving their cardiovascular conditions. Often, doctors are not fully aware of the cardiac issues a pregnant woman may have leading to a sub-specialty around Cardiac Obstetrics.
Guests:
Jonathan Fialkow, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Baptist Health. Overseeing Population Health, Primary Care, Cardiology, Endocrinology and other Medical Specialties
Lisa Forbess, M.D., Medical Director, Baptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute Adult Congenital Heart Disease and Cardiac-OB Services.
