🎙️ Why are cardiac biomarkers becoming such an important part of perioperative care?

This episode has clearly struck a chord.

In this fascinating discussion, we explore how cardiac biomarkers can help clinicians identify risk earlier, guide decision-making, and potentially improve outcomes for patients facing major surgery. The conversation also takes a deep dive into the perioperative management of right ventricular failure—an area that remains both challenging and critically important.

Whether you're an anaesthetist, intensivist, surgeon, perioperative physician, or simply interested in the latest thinking around cardiovascular risk and optimisation, there are plenty of practical insights to take away.

📈 Thank you to everyone who has already listened, shared, and contributed to the discussion. It's fantastic to see such strong engagement with this important topic.

New TopMedTalk Podcast: Cardio-Obstetric Anesthesia at SOAP – Hemodynamics Monitoring & Preeclampsia

Maternal cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading contributors to pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality, making the intersection of cardiology, obstetrics, and anesthesiology more important than ever. The evolving field of cardio-obstetrics is transforming how we identify, monitor, and manage high-risk pregnant patients.

In this latest TopMedTalk episode, experts from the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) explore the latest advances in hemodynamic monitoring, the management of preeclampsia, and the role of precision-guided interventions during childbirth and cesarean delivery. The discussion highlights how enhanced monitoring technologies and multidisciplinary collaboration can support earlier recognition of maternal deterioration and more individualized care.

Key topics include:
✅ Contemporary approaches to maternal hemodynamic assessment
✅ Monitoring strategies in preeclampsia and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
✅ The growing role of non-invasive and continuous monitoring technologies
✅ Cardio-obstetric teamwork in improving maternal outcomes
✅ Translating emerging evidence into clinical practice

Whether you're an anesthesiologist, obstetrician, maternal-fetal medicine specialist, intensivist, cardiologist, or perioperative clinician, this episode offers valuable insights into one of the most rapidly developing areas of women's health.
