All major adverse pregnancy outcomes should be recognized as lifelong risk factors for heart disease
Women who experience any of five major pregnancy complications, such as preterm birth and pre-eclampsia, show an increased risk of ischemic heart disease up to 46 years after delivery, finds a study from Sweden published by The BMJ today.
A recent study discusses the association of maternal body mass index in pregnancy with neonatal outcomes.
Women with pre-eclampsia have a higher likelihood of heart attack and stroke than their peers within just seven years of delivery, with risks remaining elevated more than 20 years later.
Even healthy women appear to have dramatically higher risks for heart attacks and strokes in the first decade after a preeclamptic pregnancy, a new study has found.
