There has a been a global effort to establish reliable and relevant statistics and standards of care in the management of cardiovascular disease in pregnancy. This text book comes at an important time in the history of maternal cardiovascular care, where maternal mortality in certain parts of the world, including the United States, continues to rise. Several organizations have established the importance of developing guidelines and metrics and the evidence-based care in the management and treatment of cardiovascular disease in pregnancy. The burgeoning field of Cardio-Obstetrics combines the principles of multidisciplinary team-based care from Cardiology, MATERNAL FETAL MEDICINE, Anaesthesia, advanced nursing, pharmacology, and social work to enhance the care of birthing individuals. This care has shown to have significant impact in improving the outcomes of mothers, their babies, and society at large. In this book, we outline the contemporary and practical knowledge from emerging data in the field. Each chapter is written by experts in the field that have contributed to improving the knowledge and care of these patients. We cover the topics from prevention, prenatal counselling, obstetrical care, to management of complex cardiovascular conditions antenatally and post-partum. We are hopeful that this will fulfil an existing gap in the knowledge.
