Cardiovascular Screening Rates With Establishment of Postpartum Cardiovascular Care Pathway for Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy.

ABSTRACT: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, highlighting the importance of thorough cardiovascular screening in individuals with prior HDP. This retrospective cohort study evaluated rates of cardiovascular screening studies (lipid panel, lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein B, hemoglobin A1c) ordered by cardiology in the first year postpartum before and after establishment of a postpartum cardiovascular care pathway within the Inova Health System. The study population included postpartum adults with recent pregnancies complicated by HDP seen by designated clinicians after care pathway establishment (7/1/23-3/31/24) in the cardio-obstetrics cohort (n = 113) or by cardiology before care pathway establishment (6/1/20-6/30/23) in the his
