What to Know Before and During Pregnancy in Heritable Thoracic Aortic Diseases (HTAD)

In this Pill of Knowledge (PoK) video, Professor Jolien Roos-Hesselink and Dr. Yaso Emmanuel provide a comprehensive overview of the considerations for heritable thoracic aortic diseases (HTAD) patients planning a pregnancy. Topics include the risk of recurrence, the risk of an aortic event during pregnancy or delivery, risks to the fetus, risks of medications used during pregnancy, and the potential for further progressive disease in the mother. Individualized advice from a cardiologist is crucial for HTAD patients considering pregnancy.

Pills of Knowledge are short, expert-led video lessons. To learn more about the HTAD-WG, visit: vascern.eu/group/heritable-thoracic-aortic-disease…
