About this clinic
The COB clinic provides pre-pregnancy counselling and cardiac care to pregnant patients with congenital and acquired heart disease. Pregnancy puts additional stress on the heart and circulatory system. Because of this, the COB clinic provides specialized cardiac care during pregnancy and postpartum for those who may require additional monitoring or medications. The multidisciplinary team of physicians and nurses specialize in heart disease and pregnancy to support patients during antepartum, birth and postpartum care.
Patients must be referred by a primary care physician, midwife, or specialist. (Referral form available below.)
