To combat rising maternal mortality, researchers at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute and UMKC are leading a first of its kind study to create better care for moms with heart conditions during pregnancy.

While chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries are common for most cancer treatments, immunotherapy is continuing to allow some patients to forgo these often harsh and invasive methods altogether.

Dr. Adnan Chhatriwalla, interventional cardiologist at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute, talks about symptoms of heart valve disease, treatment, and keys to long-term heart health.

More than 10 years after his diagnosis, he’s helping other people with the same rare cancer to hold on to hope.

The four-year observational study will research U.S. pregnant people with cardiovascular disease to better understand and combat maternal mortality and morbidity.

In the past, many women born with a heart condition were told they would not be able to birth children safely.

Saint Luke’s dedication to research means more patients have alternatives to care—like Hilda Lankard and Agnes Lickteig.
