Women with spontaneous preterm birth have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life.

The aim of this study was to determine if protein biomarkers associated with cardiovascular disease distinguish women with spontaneous preterm birth from healthy controls, both at pregnancy and at follow up.
