About this trial

This is a prospective, observational study which is evaluating the obstetrical, neonatal, and cardiovascular outcomes of 1000 pregnant people with known heart disease to define how best to structure cardio-obstetrics care to optimize outcomes.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Purely observational study on the care and outcomes of participants with cardiovascular disease in pregnancy.

    Other intervention

    The primary exposure variable is the organization of cardio-obstetrics care which will be defined by annual site surveys and its association with outcomes will be defined by hierarchical models adjusting for patient characteristics.

Treatment groups

1,000 Participants

Time frame
Third trimester and 6 weeks after delivery
4

Perceived Discrimination will be assessed using the Experience of Depression Scale

This questionnaire will be completed on enrollment and at 6 and 12 months after delivery so that cross-sectional and changes over time through 1 year after delivery can be compared by patient characteristics and structures of care.
