Heart Disease and Pregnancy
The Healthy Moms Healthy Babies website offers information for moms and providers. A new addition to the site is the American Heart Association (AHA) information for moms to review during their pregnancy.
The AHA reports that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of new moms. It is important that women understand how to care for themselves and their baby. Visit AHA Go Red for Women for important information on risk factors, heart conditions, and getting and staying healthy during pregnancy. The site offers firsthand stories from survivors to share with patients to stress the importance of heart health during pregnancy.
Visit Healthy Moms Healthy Babies for additional resources for healthcare providers and patients. Don’t forget to add your maternal and infant health events to our Events Calendar.
