Cardiologists need to address the risk of pregnancy appropriately with women of child-bearing age, and encourage contraception planning for women with heart disease, according to a paper published in the
Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Pregnancy can create further health problems for people with cardiovascular disease, leading to an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Some medications used to treat cardiovascular disease can also be harmful to foetuses. This means that women with cardiovascular disease should discuss reproductive planning with their cardiologists, but it’s not currently known how frequently this happens.
Contraception counseling, pregnancy planning are necessary to optimize health of women with heart disease
Pregnancy can increase the risk of morbidity and mortality in women with cardiovascular disease; however, many cardiologists are not having pre-pregnancy contraception discussions with their patients of child-bearing age. There is a need to provide evidence-based guidance for contraceptive safety and effectiveness and pregnancy planning options for this high-risk patient group, according to a paper published in the
Journal of the American College of Cardiology (
JACC). This paper is one of a five-part
JACC focus seminar series
addressing a wide range of topics in the emerging cardio-obstetrics field.
Vaccinating adults appears to protect children as well
New data from Israel, where health officials moved quickly to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and partner BioNTech, suggests that the vaccination of adults also protects unvaccinated people living around them.
Roughly one-third of Maccabi Healthcare Services 1.95 million members all above the age of 16 had received at least a single vaccine dose by Jan. 30. In analyzing outcomes in 223 communities, researchers found that as the number of vaccinated adults went up, infection rates among unvaccinated MHS members in the same community went down particularly among children. MHS is Israel s second-largest health care maintenance organization.
