The care of the cardio-obstetric population in the cardiac intensive care unit is challenging due to limited data in this patient population. Optimal care requires a broad multidisciplinary team

"However, by decreasing the incidence of severe HTN, there is a theoretical risk that treatment will mask signs of worsening disease, which would otherwise prompt earlier delivery." Curious: How do colleagues in the US feel about this? www.ajogmfm.org/article/S258...
Nonsevere hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and oral antihypertensive medications: an argument against use
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, affect approximately 13% of all pregnancies and are a major cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although the treatment of preeclampsia with severe features has been well established on the basis of randomized controlled data, international society guidelines vary on the treatment of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia without severe features. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends against the use of antihypertensive agents for nonsevere hypertension (blood pressure of <160/110 mm Hg) in both gestational hypertension and preeclampsia without severe features given a lack of level 1 evidence in support of treatment and the theoretical risk of masking of disease progression or causing adverse fetal effects, such as growth restriction.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
Altmetric@altmetric.com · 2y agoThere are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research. A Place of Joy.
Looking forward to chatting with the preemie community & the Canadian Premature Babies Foundation tomorrow 💜with my talk on why science & experience are both evidence needed to ensure all babies can thrive! Nurturing nutrition, embracing experience: a holistic view of maternal & early life health.

Opinion: Ten Indigenous people have died at the hands of police in recent months. Where is the outrage?
Calls to defund the police have become less popular, but the problems underpinning that slogan have not gone away

🫄🏻❓So once the need for testing is confirmed, what do pregnant people want to know about prior to CT/VQ scan? ❣️What are the risks associated with pulmonary embolism? ❣️Any fetal/maternal risks with ionizing radiations? ❣️Any risks associated with not testing?
