This commentary highlights the critical role of multidisciplinary cardio-obstetrics teams and adherence to the 2023 AHA scientific statement for optimizing anesthetic and cardiovascular care in pregnant women.
The American Heart Association (AHA) has recently released a statement on cardiovascular management of pregnant women from an anesthesiological point of view. Although managing such situation is extremely frequent in clinical practice, poor attention is paid to the topic and many cardiologists and anesthesiologists in small centers have to cope with cardiovascular complications during pregnancy, being at the forefront as consultants. Consequently, we deem appropriate to dwell on this statement. The aim of the present commentary is to summarize the main practical indications provided by the AHA from a strictly cardiological point of view.

Zimatore et al. (2023) conducted an editorial in Cardiovascular disease in pregnancy. Anesthetic management was evaluated. Effective anesthetic management of pregnant patients with cardiovascular disease requires a multidisciplinary approach involving obstetricians, cardiologists, and anesthesiologists.
