Renata McGrew, a 44-year-old woman with advanced heart failure faced an unexpected and extremely high-risk pregnancy - but through close collaboration between UMMC's heart failure specialists and maternal-fetal medicine team, she received the advanced care needed to carry her pregnancy and deliver her son.
