Cardiotoxicities are rampant in oncology, affecting patients during active treatment AND for the rest of their life.

Now consider that many of your patients are moms…who were pregnant…& experienced the cardiovascular effects that commonly accompany pregnancy.

TALK ABOUT A DOUBLE WHAMMY that we are totally glossing over in OncoPT.

In this week’s episode on TheOncoPT Podcast, we dive headfirst into the intersection of pregnancy, oncology, & physical therapy with Drs. Rebeca Segrave, Jenna Segrave, Katherine Sylvester, & Allyson Sutkowi-Hemstreet.
In their upcoming CSM session, CP-17761 - Peripartum Cardiovascular Health Disparities and How Physical Therapists Play a Vital Role across Settings, they shed light on the alarming statistics surrounding cardiac conditions, which persist as the leading cause of death during pregnancy and the first year postpartum.

Physical therapy has a significant role to play with this patient population, considering your vital contributions to risk assessment, triage, prevention, and treatment of pregnancy-related cardiac complications. The question is now: are you going to step up & help address this with your patients?
