Our team includes maternal-fetal medicine specialists, cardiologists, congenital heart disease specialists, anesthesiologists, obstetric pharmacists and nursing specialists.

We bring together experts from across disciplines to provide the best care for you during your pregnancy. For some women, that will mean consultation with our experts to allow for care closer to home and for others that will involve in-person care by our multidisciplinary care team to help you have the best possible outcome for you.

For high-risk patients, we can provide women with state-of-the-art care at the Frankel Cardiovascular Center, and newborns with heart problems can be treated in the Congenital Heart Center in C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. This care is all coordinated through Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital whose obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, obstetric and cardiac anesthesiologists, nurses and pharmacists all work together to care for you and your family.

We care for women who enter pregnancy with many types of heart disease:

• Women with disease of the heart valves such as bicuspid aortic valve, aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, or with mechanical heart valves
• Women who were born with a heart anomaly such as Tetralogy of Fallot, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, or congenital heart block
• Women with a history of heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or prior peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM)
• Women with abnormal heart rhythms, arrhythmias
• Women with a history of heart attacks
• Women with pulmonary hypertension

We also care for women who develop heart disease during pregnancy including:

• Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM)
• Preeclampsia with severe features

We are always working to learn how to provide women and their families with the best care possible. We are currently enrolling women with heart disease in our Biorepository for Understanding Maternal and Pediatric health (BUMP) cohort. We are also working with colleagues across the institution to better understand how hypertensive disorders of pregnancy develop and affect women during delivery and over their lifetimes.
