CHSPR Seminar | Cardiovascular Disease in Postpartum Women: Understanding Risk to Optimize Prevention and Management

February 11 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Speaker: Rubee Dev, University of BC

Globally, the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) related morbidity and mortality in postpartum women has increased. Women who experience adverse pregnancy outcomes have an increased lifelong risk of developing CVD. Yet, CVD amongst postpartum women remains under-studied, under-screened, and under-diagnosed. Early diagnostic testing and risk-based recommendations are required to combat the increasing trend.

Dr Dev is an assistant professor in the UBC School of Nursing, a CHSPR faculty member, and a global women’s health researcher. Her research aims to improve women’s health globally through capacity building, collaboration, and health system strengthening. She is committed to improving the health of women nationally and internationally.
