Heart disease remains the No. 1 killer of women in America, but many don’t realize that symptoms commonly associated with pregnancy, like shortness of breath, swollen hands and feet, could also be indicators of a serious underlying heart condition. Another startling fact: All women are at risk, according to Evelina Grayver, MD, director of Northwell Health’s Women’s Heart program for the Central region. In this episode, Sandra Lindsay revisits her conversation with Dr. Grayver from 2023, where the women's heart health expert explains what symptoms to look out for, when to seek help and the ins and outs of a new field of medicine specializing in the treatment of heart conditions during pregnancy — cardio-obstetrics.
Dr. Grayver helped establish Northwell's cardio-obstetrics program, which is helping expecting and new parents get ahead of or prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes related to heart disease.
