ACOG 2025: Redesigning Prenatal Care and Rethinking Cardiovascular Risk in PCOS

At ACOG 2025, experts highlighted innovations in obstetric care and cardiovascular research in PCOS. Dr. Amy Dillmeyer-Klinski, OB-GYN and member of the ACOG Scientific Program Committee, advocated for a modernized, patient-centered prenatal care model incorporating virtual visits and addressing social determinants of health. Dr. Tina Hsieh (Beth Israel Deaconess) presented real-world data suggesting that GLP-1 receptor agonists were associated with reduced arrhythmia and thrombotic events in women with PCOS compared to metformin. While preliminary, these findings may inform future therapeutic directions pending validation from long-term outcome studies..
