Critical Heart Condition During Pregnancy, a volume in the Critical Care Obstetrics series, provides a novel reference to educate physicians, nurses, and all allied healthcare personnel caring for pregnant women with various health compromises specific to cardiac complications. The book's chapters reflect the growing scope of critical care obstetrics and the increasing importance and recognition of the hospital structure's field. All intensivists, regardless of primary discipline, must possess a core set of critical care skills that allow them to manage critically ill patients. The authors have gathered the best evidence-based material explicitly focused on cardiac scenarios. This volume presents cardiac medical-surgical complications that any patient can present during and post-partem, such as Arrhythmias, Endocarditis, Cardiogenic Shock, heart failure, and more.
"...a hard bound book describing physiology and pathology associated with heart disease occurring during pregnancy…. a collection of evidence-based scenarios focused on cardiovascular changes which may present during pregnancy…. Physicians, nurses, physical and respiratory therapists, other allied health professionals, and the administrative team supporting obstetric care are an appropriate audience for this book. Specific skills valuable to the readership include exposure to cardiology, cardiovascular surgery and other heart care, along with heart imaging, and applications of cardiac physiology in the setting of pregnancy…. An attractive hard bound volume includes 20 chapters and 260 pages along with a detailed concluding subject index…. a worthy addition to the Critical Care in Obstetrics series. The illustrations, while limited in number, effectively complement the written text…. a unique and effective contribution to critical care literature related to a complex patient group." ©Doody's Review Service, 2025, David James Dries, MSE, MD (Regions Hospital)
