ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) - Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of pregnancy complications and death for people in the U.S., according to the Cleveland Clinic. It can be difficult to spot the symptoms because many of them are similar to common pregnancy symptoms.

In this week's Women's Health Wednesday, a cardiologist in Denver, Colorado explains what's being done to better identify and treat the problem quicker.
