Cardiovascular disease (CVD) during pregnancy varies significantly worldwide, influenced by factors such as access to healthcare, delayed diagnosis, causes, and risk factors. Our study sought to explore the spectrum of CVD present in pregnant women in the United Arab Emirates to better understand this population’s unique needs and challenges. Central to our study is an emphasis on the importance of implementing a multidisciplinary approach that involves the collaboration of obstetricians, cardiologists, geneticists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure that patients receive comprehensive and coordinated care. This approach can also help identify high-risk patients and implement preventive measures to reduce the occurrence of adverse maternal outcomes. Furthermore, increasing awareness among women about the risk of CVD during pregnancy and obtaining detailed family histories can help in the early identification and management of these conditions. Genetic testing and family screening can also aid in identifying inherited CVD that can be passed down through families. To illustrate the significance of such an approach, we provide a comprehensive analysis of five women’s cases from our retrospective study of 800 women. The findings from our study emphasize the importance of addressing maternal cardiac health in pregnancy and the need for targeted interventions and improvements in the existing healthcare system to reduce adverse maternal outcomes.
