Cardio-obstetrics
Denver Heart offers specialized support for women before, during, and after pregnancy.
Pregnancy is a special time in a woman’s life. However, sometimes the added stress of pregnancy can cause symptoms and manifestations of new or previously undiagnosed heart disease. Other women have pre-existing conditions that should be closely monitored by a cardiology before, during, and after pregnancy. Here at Denver Heart, we have a team of cardiologists who are experienced in the changes associated with pregnancy and how to manage heart conditions during pregnancy. Women who are considered to be advanced maternal age (getting pregnant after age 35) and/or who have a health condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or known history of heart disease are at increased risk of complications during pregnancy. By establishing a relationship before or early in your pregnancy, we can work closely with you during all the stages of pregnancy – including prenatal planning and during the postpartum period – to ensure you and your baby are as healthy as possible.
