In this vodcast, experts delve into the critical roles of interdisciplinary team members, including primary care providers, doulas, and nurse midwives, in supporting patients with high-risk pregnancies during the pregnancy and postartum periods. The discussion includes strategies for advocating the inclusion of these professionals in obstetric and postpartum care and explores various platforms to engage healthcare professionals and expand the reach of vital health information.
In this episode, leading experts identify key elements of an obstetric and postpartum history that may signal later life cardiovascular risk. Learn about relevant tools and crucial strategies to guide cardiovascular disease prevention efforts.  Claim CE and MOC credits here: https://bit.ly/43Qbqw4
Experts explore and summarize the epidemiology of arrhythmias seen during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. The discussion includes guideline directed treatment for arrhythmias during pregnancy incorporating the safety of medications and invasive treatments, as well as recommendations for care during postpartum. 
https://bit.ly/HTDP_postpartumcareIn this episode learn how key elements from a woman's pregnancy history may impact her lifelong risk for cardiovascular disease. As patients transition in the postpartum stage, recognizing social determinants of health and incorporating counseling strategies into routine care presents an opportunity to focus on health lifestyle choices. Explore the growning field of available tools, like Life's Essential 8, to support the transition of postpartum care to the primary care setting.  Claim CE and MOC credit: https://bit.ly/HTDP_postpartumcare

In this episode Dr. Paul Ridker discusses the pivotal role of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a biomarker for inflammation, in cardiovascular prevention and treatment. He explains how inflammation and cholesterol together drive atherosclerosis, the significance of hsCRP testing, and the latest clinical trial findings. Dr. Ridker also highlights the importance of primary prevention strategies and the potential of targeted anti-inflammatory therapies to revolutionize cardiovascular care.
In this episode, Dr. Brittany Weber discusses the role of inflammation and high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) in cardiovascular disease. She explores the connection between inflammation and atherosclerosis and how immune system activation contributes to atherosclerosis development, the importance of endothelial damage and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the impact of systemic inflammatory diseases on cardiovascular risk. Tune in to learn about the mechanisms behind inflammation in cardiovascular disease and the significance of hsCRP as a biomarker.
In this episode, Dr. Amir Rezvan hosts a panel discussion with distinguished colleagues Dr. Paul Ridker, Dr. Brendan Everett, Dr. Michael Garshick, and Dr. Kaitlin Voigts Key. The panel explores what high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is and its normal levels, the role of hsCRP in diagnosing and treating atherosclerotic disease, and how inflammation and hyperlipidemia contribute to cardiovascular events. The panel provides practical advice on measuring hsCRP and interpreting high values. Tune in for this insightful discussion on the importance of hsCRP in preventive cardiology and how to effectively use this biomarker in clinical practice.
In this episode, Dr. Brendan Everett discusses how lifestyle changes can reduce low-grade systemic inflammation. He explores the impact of weight loss on high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP)levels, the benefits of different diet types, and the role of exercise and smoking cessation in managing inflammation. Watch now to learn how lifestyle interventions can play a crucial role in reducing inflammation and improving cardiovascular health.
In this episode, Dr. Michael Garshick discusses the role of pharmacologic interventions in managing inflammation and high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) in cardiovascular (CV) disease. Key topics include the involvement of inflammation in atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis, traditional targets such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, and antiplatelet therapy, and the complexity of targeting inflammation and the inflammasome signaling pathway. He also explores insights from the CANTOS trial on IL-1 beta inhibitors and their impact on CV events and the role of colchicine in reducing CV events and its safety profile. Watch now to learn about the latest advancements in pharmacologic strategies for reducing cardiovascular risk through inflammation management.
In this episode, Dr. Paul Ridker explores the crucial role of inflammation and high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) in cardiovascular health. He discusses the importance of measuring hsCRP and addresses common misconceptions about the variability of this biomarker. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how hsCRP can be a powerful tool in predicting and managing cardiovascular health.
In this episode, hear from leading experts as they define the major health issues in hypertensive disorders associated with pregnancy. Learn how to outline the appropriate work-up to diagnose hypertensive disorders in pregnancy; discussion to include postpartum care recommendations.
