DENVER — More than 60 million American women have some form of heart disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it's the leading cause of death for women in the U.S. and can impact them at any age.
“At 27 weeks, I had a heart ablation. That’s when they go in and put you into SVT to try to figure out where the pathways are in that extra beat is getting stuck and then zap that portion of your heart,” said Ramirez.“Three months after giving birth, I had another heart ablation, and that was a year ago. And this year, this month, I haven’t had any SVTs since then,” she said.Dr. Kirsten Hesterberg says cardio-obstetrics is a new focus area in the field of cardiology.
That's why Hesterberg says the collaboration of doctors within the program is so important. It gives patients with heart conditions the care they need before, during and after pregnancy. Ramirez says this is a program that has set her up on the right track for the future. She told Denver7 she would have another baby, despite all the risks.
