1. Discuss challenges and recent updates in the diagnosis of heart failure in the peripartum period including heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction.
2. Highlight racial disparities in maternal heart failure and mitigate maternal mortality.
3. Provide a multi-disciplinary discussion of the management of heart failure in pregnancy.
4. Explain the risk of subsequent pregnancies.
