AB  - In  an  analysis  of  maternal  mortality  in  the  United  States  between  2011  and  2013,  deaths  related  to  hemorrhage,  hypertensive  disorders,  and  embolism  showed  declining  rates.  In  contrast,  deaths  attributable  to  cardiovascular  diseases  are  rising  and  are  responsible  for  one  fourth  of  all  pregnancy-related  mortalities  (Creanga,  2017;  Petersen,  2019).  Recent  development  of  state-level  maternal  mortality  review  committees  have  emphasized  this  issue  and  highlighted  the  relatively  protracted  timeline  of  illness.  Up  to  a  year  after  delivery,  cardiac  events  were  among  the  leading  causes  of  death  for  women  in  Texas  in  2013  (Texas  Maternal  Morbidity  Task  Force,  2020).  These  disorders  account  also  for  significant  maternal  morbidity  and  are  a  common  reason  for  intensive  care  unit  admissions  (Small,  2012).
