Terms and disclaimer

Terms of Use

cardioOB.org is one of the Computational Cardiology Tools, and the same Terms of Use apply to every tool in the family: an educational resource for healthcare professionals and trainees, not medical advice, not for direct patient care, and no identifiable patient information. The full terms are on the family page: tools.rueyhu.com/terms. The first-visit notice asks for your agreement, and the Terms link in the footer opens it again.

Full disclaimer

This website is an educational resource for healthcare professionals and trainees. It summarizes and illustrates the 2025 ESC Guidelines for the management of cardiovascular disease and pregnancy (De Backer, Haugaa, et al., Eur Heart J 2025;46:4462–4568, doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehaf193). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or reviewed by the European Society of Cardiology or any of its authors.

The content is intended for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice. It is not designed or validated for use in direct patient care, diagnosis, or treatment, and it must not be used as a substitute for independent professional medical judgment. Guidelines cannot account for every individual patient, and the interactive tools here are simplified representations of guideline content. They may omit nuance, may contain errors despite review, and may become outdated. Some explanatory text on this site was written for the site and is not part of the guideline. Clinical decisions should always take into account the individual patient's circumstances, local protocols and drug availability, current product information, and consultation with the appropriate specialists, including a multidisciplinary Pregnancy Heart Team.

Please verify any recommendation against the original published guideline before acting on it. Do not enter identifiable patient information into this site. The site operators and contributors make no warranties, express or implied, regarding accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose, and accept no liability for any loss or harm arising from the use of, or reliance on, this content, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Use of this site is subject to the Terms of Use above.
