Detection and multidisciplinary care before, during, and after pregnancy is essential. Rheumatic heart disease, a neglected CVD primarily affecting women and children, increases risk of adverse outcomes during pregnancy. Unfortunately, women are often unaware that they have RHD or CVD until pregnancy, and health during pregnancy is seen as the domain of obstetric providers, who may lack the expertise to treat complex conditions. It is frequently unclear where responsibility of care lies postpartum, and crucial opportunities to promote health and reduce future risk may be missed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Standardized, comprehensive CVD care in pregnancy is crucial for reducing maternal morbidity and mortality.
