AHA Scientific Sessions 2025 - Dr Emily Lau (Brigham and Women's Hospital, US) joins us to discuss what cardiologists need to know about the intersection of pregnancy and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic health, from pre-conception counseling through long-term postpartum care.

Interview Questions:

2. What happens during pregnancy that can impact a woman's long-term cardiovascular health?
3. How should cardiologists approach risk assessment and management in women before, during, and after pregnancy?
4. What are the key adverse pregnancy outcomes that signal increased cardiovascular risk, and how should these inform follow-up care?
5. What are your key take-home messages for cardiologists?
